WDTV Ch. 5 Weston (CBS/NBC)

7 PM Ernest Angley
11 PM United Cerebral Palsy Telethon (to 7 PM Sun)

Did WDTV usually show Ernest Angley in prime-time, or was it only a one-time thing due to the telethon?

WOWK Ch. 13 Huntington (ABC)

3 PM Imagine That (Dora Hall as a toymaker who helps a
little girl use her imagination)

Likely sponsored by Solo Cups, which practically sponsored all her specials and advertised her records as premiums on packages of Solo products. Hall was the wife of Solo Cup founder and owner Leo Hulseman. Solo Cup also owned its own studios, Premore, which provided production facilities for various TV shows and specials, including, of course, Dora Hall's shows.

WMUL (WPBY) Ch. 33 Huntington (PBS)
7 PM Muppet Show (guest: Gene Kelly)

So PBS stations aired "muppet shows" other than "Sesame Street"?

WMUL (WPBY) Ch. 33 Huntington (PBS)
7 PM Muppet Show (guest: Gene Kelly)

So PBS stations aired "muppet shows" other than "Sesame Street"?

"The Muppet Show" aired primarily on commercial stations; this is an exception.

As for the question about Ernest Angley, I don't have enough West Virginia editions
of TV Guide to say for sure, but I seem to recall from seeing some at the time that
WDTV did carry him Saturdays at 7. "Paid religion" was a big thing in those parts;
even today, WYMT pre-empts "Sunday Morning" and "Face The Nation" for local churches.
