I don't know of any other ABC affiliate starting Smith and Reasoner on
the quarter-hour at that time, but WKRG, the CBS affiliate in Mobile,
carried Walter Cronkite 5:45-6:15 (CT) until sometime in the mid-'70s.
The 5:45 starting time may go back to the days of 15-minute newscasts;
what WKRG would do is local news at 5:30, Uncle Walter at 5:45, and
more local news from 6:15-6:30. But then again, WKRG played fast and
loose with the CBS schedule until CBS yanked KXLY's affiliation for doing
the same thing; apparently someone got scared and WKRG began airing
practically everything in pattern, including CBS News at 5:30.

KWRB really preferred NBC programs from what I can tell. Were there different days where CBS and ABC programs were aired?

Only a show or two from the other networks, at least in prime time. The odd thing is that the edition of TV Guide I used has an ad where KWRB calls itself a NBC/CBS/ABC affiliate, but its programs were almost entirely NBC at the time.
