[bpatrick]

Cathie Taylor, Tennessee Ernie Ford's guest, became a regular on his ABC daytime show in its last (1964-65) season.

I noticed that most of the regularly-scheduled daytime programs aired that day, as will be the case this year, with CBS pre-empting only "The Price Is Right" and "Let's Make A Deal" (the latter because those stations that normally show it at 10 AM will be showing the Macy parade, so the afternoon stations will get 3 PM for themselves) and NBC pre-empting "Days Of Our Lives" and the 9-11 AM portion of the "Today" show (for the National Dog Show in the first case, and the Macy parade in the second). On ABC, "The View," "The Chew," and "General Hospital" will air as usual.

WTEN-10 and WAST-13 (now WNYT) still were simulcasting on UHF after they moved to VHF.

Perhaps this was allowed by the FCC for the short-term until these stations gave up their UHF channels.

For several years after UHF was opened up, WRGB-6 was still the only VHF station in the Capital District.

 

[W2JUV_AL]

WTEN-10 continued to simulcast on WCDC-19 Adams MA until the digital transition in 2009. Not sure if WTEN simulcasts in digital today from the Mt. Greylock site.
