"Dear Polka Penthouse Forum,

I am an accordion player in a small polka band in northeast Ohio, and I recently experienced something at a polka festival that I just had to share with you..."

Interesting that "You Asked For It" ran Sundays at 7. At that
point it indeed aired on DuMont Fridays at 8:30. But when it
moved to ABC in April 1952, Sundays at 7 would be its timeslot
for all but a few weeks in 1958 when it aired at 9:30 (about the
time Smilin' Jack Smith replaced Art Baker as host).

That is interesting..I have the whole week schedule..Show times were all over the place network wise-They even had a good number of CBS shows, surprisingly enough, as WEWS was considered the CBS affil in Cleveland
 
It was this time that Alan Freed, best known as a pioneer of rock and roll radio (and night jock at Cleveland's WJW from about 1950 to 1954, when he went to WINS/1010 in NYC) would head across town to the WXEL studios after his radio show ended at 11, to host the Nite-Owl Theater movies.

I wasnt sure he hosted the late movies, but Freed, by 1952 was hosting an afternoon 1PM movie with Grant Wilson..
