From the Greensboro Daily News. Schedules run
to 7 PM and do not include WLOS/13 Asheville.

8 AM Captain Kangaroo (CBS)
8:55 Weather
9 AM Devotions
9:15 Second Breakfast
9:30 Edge Of Night (CBS, delay from 4:30 PM)
Edge moved to 4:30 sometime in 1957, and What's
Cooking Today moved here. The 1 PM slot was given
over to syndicated shows and, in the '70s, to Sandra
And Friends, a talk show with Channel 2's current news
anchor, Sandra Hughes.
Personal note: I can't see Edge Of Night on Channel 2
at 9:30 without thinking that Atlanta's Channel 2 (WSB)
ran it at that time from 1980, when the station changed
to ABC, until 1984, when Edge was canceled.
10 AM Garry Moore (CBS)
10:30 Arthur Godfrey Time (CBS)
11:30 Strike It Rich (CBS)

This would move to an early-morning slot when Love

4:30 Old Rebel And Pecos Pete
In the '60s and '70s this would follow Captain
Kangaroo. Several months ago I posted some
information about the Old Rebel Show (Jim Tucker,
a/k/a Pecos Pete, left the show in the '60s and
went to Channel 12 in Winston-Salem). The Old
Rebel is very much missed by Triad-area baby boomers.

WRAL Ch. 5 Raleigh (NBC)
10 AM Ding Dong School (NBC)
10:30 Price Is Right (Bill Cullen--NBC)
Sometime in 1957 NBC moved Price to 11 AM,
and WRAL carried it there until August 1, 1962,
when the station changed to ABC and WTVD
picked it up. A year later (1963) Price
moved to ABC at--guess when--11 AM. So
for a good part of my childhood Price was
on WRAL at 11 AM. It was almost like old
times when I moved back to WRAL's coverage
area. They're CBS now, and they have Price
at 11. It's not exactly the same show, as
we old-timers know, but it still reminds
me of my childhood.

stayed on WRAL almost all the way
to the end in 1964: WTVD had it for
a time in the early '60s, after the
show moved to ABC, but WRAL got it
back in 1962 when the station went
to ABC)
