9&30 must've been airing different Sunday Masses. One ended in 30 mins, the other seems to have gone for an hour.

Bob Hope Christmas special was probably great. I sure miss him.
 
9&30 must've been airing different Sunday Masses. One ended in 30 mins, the other seems to have gone for an hour.

I'd imagine the Mass on Channel 30 was the daily Mass produced by the Archdiocese of Hartford that's aired on Hartford TV for many years. New York's diocese must have produced one of its own for Channel 9.
 
That would certainly explain it. Televised masses, except those on ETWN are generally 30 minutes, so it was just surprising to see one on broadcast TV that was a full hour.

The Hartford TV Masses are usually 30 minutes as well, but this was a Sunday, so perhaps that Mass ran longer. Not being Catholic, I've never watched them enough to know for sure if Sundays are different or not.
