Thanks for posting this. Did this TV Guide edition only list KELO in Sioux Falls or was KSOO-TV not on the air yet? Or channel 5 in Mitchell? I didn't realize there were so few stations in Nebraksa/South Dakota as late as 1960.

According to Wikipedia, KSOO-TV was still a couple of months away, it didn't sign-on until July 31st. KORN Mitchell also signed-on in '60, wasn't able to nail a date down on the Web (Wiki didn't have the date either).

I've got a date now for KORN- according to the Broadcasting & Cable Yearbook, channel 5 beat KSOO by just over a month and a half- KORN signed-on June 12/60.
