You've posted Saturday listings and Oct. 20, 1962, was indeed a Saturday.

You mention that, for Lawrence Welk, there's something that says "tape-delayed
from an earlier live telecast." As I mentioned on my Georgia retro for Oct. 13, 1962,
Welk aired live at 9 PM (EDT), daylight-saving time was still in effect, and the show
was taped for those states on standard time (Georgia being one of them, and apparently
Missouri and Oklahoma were on Central Standard Time, two hours behind EDT-- I know
Missouri was two hours behind EDT on June 24, 1950, when Harry Truman went home to
Independence, only to learn early that evening of North Korea's invasion of South
Korea). "The Fight Of The Week" and "Make That Spare" also aired live in those states
on daylight time, and on tape in those on standard time.

ABC had apparently decided to keep the same schedule for the whole country as much
as possible, although I suspect Welk, the fights, and bowling all aired live in California
from 6-8 PM (PDT).

Oops :D-thought I had put Saturday on the date...
 
But Oct. 20, 1862 was a Monday--and 1962 was the second year of the centennial of the Civil War. ;D

And it would be only the following Monday, Oct. 22, that JFK spoke to the nation about the Soviets' nuclear missiles in Cuba (IIRC Oct. 20 may have been the day that JFK, while on campaign stops, was summoned back to the White House on the missiles under the guise of having "a cold").

I can take a hint :D-I'll put the October 22nd sked up in the next couple of days...

Yes, in '62, OK was on CST. In MO, the southwestern part of the state was on CST, while
St. Louis observed CDT. I believe Kansas City was also CST.
