Both are local. The Noon Show was hosted by a Nashville
legend who dates back to the beginning of WSM (now WSMV)
in 1950, Jud Collins. He may also have been on WSM radio
in the 1940s. The demise of the Noon Show in favor of a
straight noon newscast in the 1980s led to WTVF's creation
of Talk Of The Town, one of the highest-rated local programs
in the country. 16th Avenue South is Nashville's
"Record Row," where the recording companies have studios.

It is The Lucy Show; TV Guide always listed it
that way when it was a network show. CBS affiliate
WLAC (WTVF) pre-empted it and Beverly Hillbillies
9-10 AM, so Channel 8 (ABC) picked them up.

How was Mod Squad only a half-hour?

Prior to Fall 1970, "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" was called "Misterogers' Neighborhood", and when it was on the CBC in the mid-1960s, it was "Misterogers".

Apparently, either Fred Rogers, WQED or PBS wanted something more gramattically-correct.

Since this was local,I was wondering if Ralph Emery hosted this show because in his autobiography "Memories",it says that he hosted his own afternoon show in addition to his morning show. One of the other shows he did in the afternoon was called Opry Almanac which aired in the late 60's.

Could have been that the TV Guide made a mistake and that the comedy special that aired aired at 7:30 PM instead.

It wasn't. The special afterwards started at 7:30, not 7. My bad.
