2 PM Stanley Cup: Toronto at Montreal (Game 5,
Toronto won the Cup, 4 games to 2)

Late April and the NHL was already into the cup finals...Of course, that was the last year of the "Original 6". 6 new teams would join in the 67-68 season; The Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Buffalo Sabres, St. Louis Blues, LA Kings, and the Minnesota North Stars.
 
The Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, St. Louis Blues, Minnesota North Stars, Los Angeles Kings, and Oakland Seals were the six new teams added to the NHL for the 1967-68 season. The Buffalo Sabres, along with the Vancouver Canucks were the two new teams added to the NHL for the 1970-71 season.
 
Surprised at how many dual-and triple!-affiliated stations there were even for 1967. Also surprised at how many shows were still in B&W!

Forgot about the Seals...Or maybe I thought they were in the WHA. 5 out of 6 ain't bad, though!

The Charlotte situation would be resolved in the fall of 1967 when NBC ordered WSOC to begin clearing more of the network's shows or else risk losing its affiliation (it chose to stick with NBC and stayed with them until moving to ABC in 1978); that gave WBTV a reason to go full-time with CBS, and WCCB (the weakest) with ABC.

Raleigh/Durham would get its third station, WRDU/28, in the fall of 1968 but would have to share CBS and NBC with WTVD for three years. TVD was still getting first pick of the two networks' lineups and, of course, was taking the strongest shows. Rather than watch the leftovers on RDU, people would switch to WFMY Greensboro or WNCT Greenville, NC, for CBS, or WECT Wilmington, WITN Washington, NC, or WXII Winston-Salem for NBC (example: WTVD carried NBC's movie on Saturday nights, leaving "Hogan's Heroes," "Petticoat Junction," and "Mannix" to WRDU; WFMY began showing up in the Raleigh/Durham ratings book during the 9-11 PM period on Saturday nights as viewers, especially in the western part of the Triangle, were turning there to watch those CBS shows). 28 filed a complaint with the FCC, which forced TVD to choose either CBS or NBC but not both; it chose CBS, effective in the fall of 1971, and stayed there until becoming an ABC o&o in 1985. (Birmingham had an identical situation, and in May 1970 what is now WVTM elected to go with NBC and what is now WIAT got CBS by default.)

There would also be an expansion of colorcast local programming during 1967; by the summer of 1968 only WWAY and then-WNBE would still be carrying local news in black and white.
