10:30 Whistler

Since Today is on at 7 AM (and not 4 AM :D), this must be a
kinnie from Burbank--but was it today's Today or yesterday's?

I'm thinking by this time the El Lay facilities were up to speed on
perfecting a three-hour turnaround on a hot kinnie (think TV City
with Ed Sullivan).

The 6:30 and 7 PM sitcoms were aired on other nights on NBC.
Was this a KRON local move or the left coast schedule?

8-10:30 seems to be in PT pattern, but what is Whistler at 10:30?
No Big Town in that slot.

And...no Tonight Show kinnie at 11:30. Did it air anywhere on the
left coast then?

Wasn't Panorama Pacific (left coast version of the CBS morning show
originated at KNXT) on 8-10 AM at some point during its run? Maybe that
occurred when Captain Combat--airing at 7 PT?--began in October 1955.

The midday schedule appears to be airing live from New York, with morning
shows flipped (and kinnied) to the afternoon.

Was 6:30-7 normally 7:30-8 (in pattern)? Early here due to boxing, et al,
airing live (10 ET/7 PT). Speaking of the boxing telecast (at 7), I could
imagine Billy Carter getting into the ring, but Jimmy? ;D

Godfrey and Secret in pattern, but Dragnet reruns cover Millionaire
at 9 PM. Mr. Tipton may have shown his displeasure of this move by
never sending Marvin Miller to Frisco with a check. ;)

What there is of prime time appears to be in pattern. ABC was dark
from 10-11 ET/PT on Wednesdays.


KOVR 13-Mt Diablo

Mt. Diablo, not Stockton? Wasn't Diablo the actual tower site (paging
Scott Fybush :)) but hasn't the COL always been SCK?
 
KOVR 13-Mt Diablo

[/quote]
KOVR had its transmitter on Mt Diablo from 1954-1957 when it joined ABC.Until then KCCC 40 was Sacramento's ABC affilate.In 1957 KCCC went dark and came back in 1968 as KTXL
As for KTVU 36 Stockton, so many things seem wrong but KTVU 2 didnt sign on until 1959
Dateline Diablo on the KOVR Schedule makes me wonder if it was a channel targeted at the east bay at the time
