Hmm...no WAST (13) Albany? '58 is the year they moved to VHF, so surely would have been on 13 by now. I can understand they were probably not listed when they were on UHF (which, in 1950's Vermont, was known as "U-H-what?") but would have expected to see them listed once they became a more realistic (VHF) option.

I think the WAST's move came a year or so later. WKTV had to move from 13 to 2 and I think that happened in 1960.

7 Matinee with Sally (like most regional Quebec TV stations, CHLT ran a combination of French and English programming)

Isn't the practice of "mixing" French and English programming on radio & TV illegal in Quebec today? Some years back on Reelradio I heard an aircheck from a Montreal AM top 40 station from the 70's. One minute the jock was talking in French and then he was talking in English..then back to French...then back to English..you get the idea. Anyway I can recall someone mentioning in the comments on the site that the practice of "mixing" French and English is illegal and today if its French..its ALL French, likewise with English.

No "Captain Kangaroo" on WCAX? Shame!

I also noticed that the ABC daytime schedule
is the first attempt by the network to field a
virtuall-all-day schedule from 11 AM (with a
few exceptions over the years, ABC's traditional
starting time for its daytime schedule). Called
"Operation Daybreak" it started in October 1958
and had mixed results:

11 AM Day In Court (made several time changes
but lasted until 1965)
11:30 Peter Lind Hayes (lasted until April 10, 1959)
12:30 Mother's Day (host Dick Van Dyke would like
to forget this stunt show--lasted until
January 2, 1959)
1 PM The Liberace Show (Liberace in a regular
business suit? NO! Lasted until April 10, 1959
1:30 (Local)
2 PM Chance For Romance (John Cameron Swayze,
between anchoring jobs at NBC and ABC, hosts
this show which is either a forerunner of "The
Dating Game" or short-lived entries such as
Dick Enberg's "Perfect Match" or Dave Hull's
"Matchmaker"--psychologists paired up the couples).
According to Wesley Hyatt this show ended on
December 5, 1958.
2:30 (Local)
3 PM Beat The Clock (acquired from CBS and will run on
ABC until 1961)
3:30 Who Do You Trust? (OK, we know all about this one--
Johnny and Ed stayed with it until 1962, went to "The
Tonight Show," and Woody Woodbury and announcer
Bill Nimmo lasted just fifteen months as their successors.)
4 PM American Bandstand (we know about this one, too--cut back
to Saturdays only in 1963, lasted on ABC until 1987, then ran
for a time in syndication with a new host--David Hirsch--until
1989)
5:30 Walt Disney's Adventure Time (the last season of Disney's afternoon
show had the Mickey Mouse Club Monday, Wednesday, and Friday,
and these reruns of the serials on Tuesday and Thursday)

I think the WAST's move came a year or so later. WKTV had to move from 13 to 2 and I think that happened in 1960.

The sources I saw pegged the move as 1958 -- the station moved from UHF to VHF, changed calls, and had its city of license changed from Troy to Albany.
