I believe the Peter Lind Hayes show (11:30 AM, WKBW)
was on for an hour for its entire short run (10/13/58-
4/10/59). Did Ch. 7 cut away at noon for something else,
such as a local program?

Also, that was the day "Play Your Hunch" (Merv Griffin's
break, much as "Who Do You Trust?" was Johnny Carson's)
moved from CBS to ABC, replacing another game, "Mother's
Day" (which had another future superstar, Dick Van Dyke, as host).
"Hunch" would last on ABC until May 8, then begin its longest
stint on NBC Dec. 7; after Merv left in the fall of '62 to host
his first (daytime) talk show, Richard Hayes and Gene Rayburn
temporarily hosted until Robert Q. Lewis became the permanent
host (11/26/62-9/27/63).

For historical purposes, here's where ABC's first daytime lineup,
nicknamed "Operation Daybreak," stood as of 1/5/59:

11 AM Day In Court (had moved to 2 PM on Dec. 22, 1958; last broadcast
June 24, 1965)
11:30 Peter Lind Hayes (would have its last broadcast Apr. 10, 1959)
12:30 Mother's Day (last broadcast Jan. 2, 1959)
1 PM The Liberace Show (last broadcast Apr. 10, 1959)
1:30 (Local)
2 PM Chance For Romance (last broadcast Dec. 5, 1958; I don't
know what filled the time until Dec. 22)
2:30 (Local)
3 PM Beat The Clock (last broadcast of the original show Jan. 27, 1961)
3:30 Who Do You Trust? (last broadcast Dec. 27, 1963--Woody Woodbury
hosted from Sept. 10, 1962)
4 PM American Bandstand (last daily broadcast Aug. 30, 1963, Saturday-only
from Sept. 7, 1963-Sept. 5, 1987, followed by a syndicated version
1987-89 and one on USA in 1989)
5:30 Mickey Mouse Club (last broadcast of the original show Sept. 25, 1959)

I always thought for some reason PLH was 30 min...in which case WKBW ran the full hour 11:30-12:30.
