Note there are only two shows in color all day, both on NBC. Game show Truth or Consequences in the afternoon. And panel show Masquerade Party at 10:30pm, which only two of these NBC stations carry.
This TV Guide pre-dates the Rochester-Syracuse TV channel switch. In 1962, WROC-TV Rochester moved to Channel 8 and WHEN-TV Syracuse moved to Channel 5. That allowed Syracuse to get a third VHF station, Channel 9. And it also would allow CBLT Toronto to relocate to Channel 5 since Rochester's Channel 5, just across Lake Ontario, had moved to Syracuse.
