The ABC cartoon that aired at 11:30 was not 'A Pup Named Scooby Doo', which came a few years later, but an unrelated Ruby-Spears series called 'The Puppy's New Adventures'.
 
Channels 8, 20 and 49 from New Haven, Waterbury and Bridgeport, respectively...sounds like this may have been from the Norwalk, CT area.

The listings are from The Hour -- that's the Norwalk newspaper. Fun fact: Connecticut has newspapers named The Hour (Norwalk), The Day (New London) and The Time (Greenwich).
 
Thank you for posting this one. I thought it was interesting that indies 5 & 11 carried pre parade and Rose parade coverage (sans encores) like their LA counterparts did.

I imagine that WNEW used KTTV's coverage, and even they weren't co-owned at the time, WPIX probably used KTLA's feed. KTTV carried the Rose Parade from 1949 (they signed on the air that New Year's Day) to 1995; KTLA's sign-on date was 3 1/2 weeks after the 1947 parade, but of course they've aired it every year since 1948, and it's one of the last few localized non-news programming that they still produce--the others being the Hollywood Christmas Parade (at one point, at least here locally, it's prominence was right up there with the Rose Parade) and the L.A. Marathon.
