Remember when TVG would actually list in-school programming as "Classroom", instead of merely listing it as a disclaimer on the "Channels Listed" page?

The year before, WXON would sign on at 3:30PM, with a program called "C-Sharp", which was a couple of young hosts presenting old film clips set to the lastest pop music -- practically the proto-Music Videos. Apparently, WXON opted for a later sign on, as they wanted all the kids home to watch their programming (at 3:30m the kids are either at school or in transit).

The following year (1972), WXON (now WDWB) would move to ch.20 after acquiring WJMY ch.20, which never went on the air (except for a test broadcast in 1968, consisting only of their calls and COL). Ch.62 would be re-occupied by WGPR (now the new WWJ) in 1975.
