I'm amazed that so much network programming airs on
another network's affiliate (Channel 6 is a case in point).
I'm also surprised that 6 didn't carry either "American
Bandstand" or "Who Do You Trust?" but then again, both
had been on less than a year and 6 had probably locked
in its 3-5 PM programming before then.

BTW, Dick Clark, in his autobiography "Rock, Roll and
Remember," says he waged a constant on-air campaign
to get ABC to stop interrupting "Bandstand" at 3:30 so it
could show "Trust." He got his wish that fall: "Beat The
Clock" was put at 3, and "Bandstand" started on the network
at 4, its timeslot until 1963.

Which led the way of the infamous "feud" between Dick Clark and Johnny Carson that leasted for decades perhaps even until Carson's death as both men are quite famous for holding a grudge for years such as Carson refusing to even say a word to Joan Rivers after she had went to FOX to do her own show. Those two never did speak again...ever !!

Even though Carson did produced that bloopers TV show back in the 80s with Clark and McMahon doing the hosting honors..even then Clark and Carson were still NOT speaking to each other as Ed had to play the peace keeper between the two icons.
 
Clark, in his book, said that Carson had never invited
him on "The Tonight Show," and that was several years
before Carson gave up the late-night grind. AFAIK, Clark
never did appear on the show. Oddly, though (and I guess
this was before Clark started lobbying to have "Who Do You
Trust?" moved), Carson did make an appearance on Clark's
Saturday-night show in 1958; he played the drums and got
in a plug for his afternoon gamefest.
 
"Which led the way of the infamous "feud" between Dick Clark and Johnny Carson that leasted for decades perhaps even until Carson's death as both men are quite famous for holding a grudge for years"

Although the two men had a lot of close mutual friends. Ed McMahon was certainly one...David Letterman another, who stayed close to Johnny 'till the end and remains a friend of Clark's--and often had Clark on as a guest as long as his health permitted (after his stroke impaired his speech, of course, you rarely see Clark for more than brief appearances on New Years' Eve, although he's still involved behind the scenes in running his production companies).
 
I grew up in Cincinnati in the 1950s, and can remember that "The Edge of Night" opened with a picture of the Cincinnati skyline--because its sponsor was Cincy-based Procter and Gamble.
Interesting to note that CBS affiliate WKRC didn't clear the show, and that it was picked up by ABC affiliate WCPO. (Incidentally, its lead-in, "The Bean", was a children's show!)
Also worth noting that Jack Paar wasn't picked up by NBC affiliate WLWT, probably because the station had just shelled out good coin for huge packages of MGM and RKO feature films.
Once again, WCPO came to the rescue.
Within a year, however, the dust settled and WCPO stopped picking up non-ABC shows. Paar went to WLWT where it belonged,while Edge of Night ended up being seen on a one-week kinescope delay in WKRC's AM schedule (again right after the kids' show which replaced Romper Room when THAT series moved to WCPO).
ABC's relationship with WCPO had always been stormy. The station threatened to either go completely DuMont or become an independent in the early 1950s unless ABC agreed to networkcast a locally-produced musical series in which the station owner's girlfriend lip-synched popular songs. That show was titled "This is Music", and I see that WCPO was still carrying it as late as 1958.
The two Dayton stations seemed to cherry-pick whatever network stuff they wanted. Though owned by Crosley, which also ran NBC affils WLW-C and WLW-T, Dayton's WLW-D carried as many ABC as NBC shows, thus CBS affiliate WHIO picked up a lot of stray NBC stuff (such as "The Thin Man" in 1958).
 
A couple of years ago I was flying from Cincinnati to
Greensboro, and just after we took off I saw the skyline
of downtown Cincinnati. Of course it has changed since
the days of "Edge Of Night," but I recognized some of the
buildings from the show's opening sequence. In the later
years on ABC (early '80s) the Los Angeles skyline was used.

They used the original "Edge of Night" skyline in the "Amos N Andy" TV series from the early 50s.

No, that skyline was supposed to represent New York City. Evidently this illustration had been in the Hal Roach studio warehouse for a long time; if you look closely in the 1935 Thelma Todd-Patsy Kelly comedy TOP FLAT, you can see the same skyline outside of a penthouse window.

Well they sure looked similar--oh well.
