I notice that CBC's airing of the Ed Sullivan show is 2 weeks late. And KVOS-TV isn't connected to the CBS network(it airs everything on film).

KVOS had somewhat of a loose affiliation with CBS for years...they programmed themselves as more of an indie for nearby Vancouver and Victoria across the 49th...

So did KVOS run all CBS delayed on film? What about WML, which ran at 7:30 (as did
KTNT) was probably "live from New York" as opposed to being on the left coast delay
(at 10:30, via kinescope from TV City, in this time before video tape).
