I'm guessing this was syndicated from Los Angeles. Gene Weed was on KFWB for most of their top 40 days, and later produced one of the big annual country music award shows.

...this would have most likely been the Manhasset, NY, band called The Outcasts, whose record "Loving You Sometimes" is heard at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR9fON2mSaA -- solid fuzztone garage pop. There were several other groups using that band name during the same period, one based in San Antonio (most noted for their record "I'm in Pittsburgh and it's rainin'," the title of which was lifted from Mountain's first line of dialogue in Rod Serling's Requiem for a Heavyweight), another backing up Houston singer Linda Pierre King, and yet another based in San Diego that eventually morphed into Gary Puckett & The Union Gap...

...interesting double feature -- the first a WW2 item about a landmark event in the fight against an Axis power, the second a (barely) post-War tale about the search for an escaped Axis power war criminal...

11:00 Wrestling (Washington)
...several WWWF TV shows from Washington from this period are up on YouTube; one five-parter starts at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5j34QKmY4w ...

...a clip of Astin's Addams Family co-star Ted Cassidy performing his novelty dance pop tune "The Lurch" on Shivaree is on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYkQ2qlANhc -- just imagine, less than three years before this, Cassidy had reported part of WFAA-TV/8 Dallas and ABC-TV's coverage of the assassination of President Kennedy! :eek: ...

WOR 9-Ind New York

8:30 NHL: Boston-Rangers (c/filmed at MSG, commentator Norm Jary)

The game was taped earlier that day. During the 1965/66 season, WOR carried Saturday games of the Rangers, away games live and home games (matinees) on tape that evening. WOR had a color mobile unit (also used to cover Mets' baseball games), and the station claimed that a game on November 13, 1965 against Chicago at the old Madison Square Garden (also televised back to WGN-9 Chicago) was the first-ever color telecast of an NHL game (although CHCH-11 in Hamilton, Ontario also claims to have been the first to have produced a televised NHL game in color).

The game was also broadcast live and in color back to Boston on the old WHDH-5. It was, as far as I know, both the first-ever locally-produced (as opposed to network) live telecast of a Boston Bruins' away game back to Boston and the first time a Bruins' game had ever been televised in the Boston area in color.

Fred Cusick was the commentator for the Boston telecast.
