I'm thinking there are at least three network newscasts missing from these
schedules: ABC at 1:25, NBC at 2:25, and ABC's "American Newsstand" at 4:50.
 
To answer my own question, NBC had newscasts at 12:55
with Ray Scherer, and at 4:55 with Sander Vanocur (the latter
pre-empted on Ch. 3); ABC at 1:25 with Alex Dreier. Charles
Collingwood anchored CBS's 3:55 newscast; Douglas Edwards
would take over this when Walter Cronkite replaced him on the
evening news in the spring of '62. "American Newsstand" also
aired on ABC from 4:50-5 PM.
