bp, as regards the five-minute bulletin from NBC News at 11:55, by this point, Edwin Newman pretty much did it all the time, just about every day. The others who would have taken turns in the past were doing other things by then. Nancy Dickerson quit NBC some years before to do projects for public television, and Floyd "Tuna" Kalber, who did his segments from the studios of Chicago O&O WMAQ, had taken over as newsreader on "Today" after the one-year tenure of the recently-deceased Lew Wood. Newman was the network's most reliable standby, we all remember, for breaking news coverage in the daytime before John Chancellor arrived at work in the afternoons. He also was a fairly frequent backup for Chancellor on "Nightly News" also.

BTW, the daytime bulletin would run about six more weeks before being cancelled on New Year's Eve, leaving only brief 90-second or so updates throughout daytime for NBC's news operation. That is, if you don't count Newman's ill-fated and frankly bizarre stint reading the news on David Letterman's short-lived morning escapades in 1980. That newscast was almost as much of a joke as any of the stunts and pratfalls Dave and Co. tried out on those adoring middle-aged housewives who tuned in dutifully each morning (!!!) Myself, I think it was deliberate.

As for your dog and the Don Ho show, I'm not going to touch that one. And you and others should be mighty happy about that.
 
Every day before school:

KHTV (KIAH) Ch. 39 Houston (Ind.)

7 AM Three Stooges

Every day after school:

3 PM Popeye
3:30 Banana Splits And Friends
4 PM Flintstones
4:30 Gilligan's Island
5 PM I Love Lucy
5:30 Dick Van Dyke
6 PM Brady Bunch

Channel 39 also had "News Before The Hour" a news update at :55 of each hour (they clipped the end credits of shows and the first few seconds after each break to make time for it). During the afternoon cartoons, they had kid anchors reading hard news.
Channel 26 didn't even bother with prime time, selling the time to SIN (the current Univision).
 
Also, about Channel 39 Houston and Channel 11 KTVT Dallas - KHTV 39 Houston had Brady Bunch at 6 PM - KTVT DID NOT EVER have Brady Bunch - which these schedules indicate. Ironically the Brady Bunch in Dallas at the time was on the competing station 39 KXTX Dallas which was owned by Christian Broadcasting Network and was coincidentally also a Channel 39. Gaylord had Channel 39 Houston while in Dallas their then rival KXTX had 39 in Dallas....

Today 39 Houston is still an independent station (With CW programming a couple hours a day)...11 KTVT is now a CBS O & O. 39 KXTX is a Spanish Telemundo O & O. Still Dallas has 6 commercial sort of independent stations today (counting My, CW, and Fox affiliates) - 4 KDFW (Fox), 33 KDAF (CW), 27 KDFI (My 27), 21 KTXA (KTVT's sister station - one of those CBS owned indies), and 47 KTXD (ME TV on both main channel part-time and full time on a DT Subchannel). KTXD replaced 52 KFWD when that station flipped to Spanish Fox shows.
 
IIRC, KXTX is part of a duopoly with NBC o&o KXAS/5, because I believe
NBC owns Telemundo. I remember Houston's Channel 39's News Before
The Hour of... (fill in the hour).
