There are a handful that come to mind, most from the 50's but some into the 60's and 70's:

WVEC-TV 13/ABC (1490) - Hampton, VA
WBIR-TV 10/CBS (1240) - Knoxville, TN
WSTV-TV 9/CBS (1340) - Steubenville, OH
WRAL-TV 5/CBS (1240) - Raleigh, NC
WJBK-TV 2/CBS (1490) - Detroit, MI
KAKE-TV 10/ABC (1240) - Wichita, KS
KROC-TV 8/NBC (1340) - Rochester, MN
KLBK-TV 13/CBS (1340) - Lubbock, TX

..an even smaller set would be AM daytimers that had TV affiliates such as:

WOI-TV 5/ABC (640) - Ames, IA
WKNX-TV 21/CBS (1210) - Saginaw, MI

...other graveyarders with TV stations attached (the first two in the '50s, the third in '68-'72):

WNAM-TV 42/ABC (1280) - Neenah-Menasha, WI
WOSH-TV 48/NBC (1490) - Oshkosh, WI
KFIZ-TV 34/Independent (1450) - Fond du Lac, WI
 
These come to mind---WNOK/19/1230AM Columbia SC (now WLTX/19)
WCOS/25/1400AM Columbia SC (now WOLO/25)

and of course the famous KXGN/5/1400AM Glendive MT.

and the even more famous WAIM/40/1230AM Anderson SC (now WMYA/40)
