...as had been requested elsewhere on this board, here is a full week's schedules of two Milwaukee UHF stations in the final week of 1954. At the time of these listings, WOKY-TV/19 and WCAN-TV/25 were lame duck licenses about to be modified. WOKY had its ABC and (most of its) Du Mont affiliations swiped from it by WTVW/12 (now WISN-TV) when that VHF station took to the air in October, and CBS was awaiting FCC approval of its plan to purchase both WOKY-TV and its original affiliate in Milwaukee, WCAN-TV/25, in order to merge the former's transmitter and the latter's studios and offices into what was eventually named WXIX-TV/19. So WOKY wasn't a particularly competitive operation at the time. Still, it was operating as an official secondary Du Mont affiliate in the final week of 1954 against two VHF signals (WTMJ-TV/4, the NBC affiliate, in addition to WTVW) and one UHF (WCAN-TV). The WCAN programming that I specify as coming from CBS indicate that one or both of the two other CBS affiliates listed in the Wisconsin Edition of TV Guide, WBAY-TV/2 Green Bay and WKOW-TV/27 Madison, are also shown running the same program at the same time; I suspect a few other programs may in fact originate from CBS but were time-shifted by WCAN, and WBAY and/or WKOW didn't run them in their markets. (For example, WKOW didn't show "See It Now," and WBAY pre-empted Red Skelton in favor of Du Mont's Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, both on Tuesday night. The fact that WBAY was owned by a Roman Catholic entity at the time probably played into the latter decision.) I also suspect a couple of WOKY listings, "They Stand Accused" on Thursday night and "The Clue" on Friday, could be Du Mont programs that WTVW chose not to carry, rather than syndicated fare. This is what the crumbling schedules of WOKY-TV and WCAN-TV looked like that week, and notice the "popularity" of whatever program "To Be Announced" was like:
