Channel 22 Scranton, PA as WDAU-TV? Were they connected to WCAU-TV channel 10 of Philadelphia in some fashion? (WCAU was a CBS affiliate back then.)

I don't know where the station got its feed (either from WCAU or WCBS), though I don't think WDAU was named because of WCAU (unless someone can say otherwise).

Also, WCAU wasn't a CBS affiliate --- it was an O&O (it's an NBC O&O today).

WCAU-TV was a CBS affiliate from its 1948 sign-on until 1958, when CBS bought the station from its original owner, the now-defunct <u>Philadelphia Evening Bulletin</u>. As for the connection to Scranton, I remember reading somewhere, some years ago, that there was some link between WCAU and WDAU. I couldn't find anything online to verify that, so I could be wrong...
