Well, there were actually 5 sisters who sang with the King Sisters at various times and their children, at least 2 of the husbands were part of the show (Robert Clarke and Alvino Rey), and the Sister's father. By the way one of the younger members of the family was Tina Cole, best known as Katie on "My Three Sons".
 
According to Shrp sports, there was no listing for a Chicago Blackhawks' game for January 23, 1965, but the next night, the 24th, they did host the New York Rangers.

Could that game have originally been scheduled for the 23rd (and scheduled for broadcast by WGN-9), but got postponed due to snow??

Or was it a college hockey game of a Chicago-area team??

Good reason for that. The American was the Tribune's evening paper - they purchased the paper from Hearst in 1956. It became Chicago Today in 1969, and was shut down in 1974.

Listings didn't indicate one way or the other what it was (the listings were very basic), but based on what you've posted, sounds like it may have been a college game...

Was wondering if there was a corporate relationship when I saw WGN listed first...for the record, it was listed as 9C, but I chose to delete the C as there was no other ch 9 in the Western Illinois version of the supplement. If anyone has any other editions from the Sunday American's supplement that week, what other versions of the supplement were there and what channels were listed?
