The date of this listing I believe is from 1968. Let's Make a Deal is still shown on NBC (ch. 4, 1:30 PM); it moved to ABC on December 30, 1968. Personality, Eye Guess, You Don't Say! and The Match Game are listed as well; they would all be gone by the following September. Also, the cartoons ABC (ch. 7) runs are clearly from the 1968 season. If it had been 1969, then shows like Smokey Bear, The Cattanooga Cats and Hot Wheels would have been part of the line-up. The prime time line-ups also reflect the 1968-69 season.

Has to be 1968. No Sesame Street which was very much around by this time in 1969. Also a load of cartoons on WABC TV but I read this is Friday after Thanksgiving and I gues ABC had cartoons for a special for that day. But by 1969 Channel 9 had Popeye weekday mornings. Channel 5 started cartoons at 7 AM. Petticoat Junction was on Channel 5 by 1969 and they would not eb resting that in the fall fresh in syndication.
 
The cartoons on channel 7 was an annual thing ABC did the day after Thanksgiving. They started that practice in 1965 and continued it for almost three decades.
 
I had forgotten that Donald O'Connor tried doing a syndicated variety/talk show, similar to Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin. WFSB 3 Hartford ran it at 10:30 a.m. WNEW-TV 5 New York ran it at 11 p.m. I don't think it lasted more than a year.
