How did a Philly station like KYW end up in the listings for Akron? Must've been quite a signal they were throwin' out back then.

KYW was originally licensed to Cleveland. The Philadelphia station that broadcast on Channel 3 at the time was known as WPTZ, owned by NBC. Westinghouse owned KYW in Cleveland and swapped licenses with WPTZ in June 1965. Westinghouse moved the KYW calls to Philadelphia (and Westinghouse also moved Mike Douglas' talk show from Cleveland as a result). The station was eventually acquired by CBS and is now a CBS affiliate. Thus, KYW is one of the very few stations west of the Mississippi with a call beginning with K.

Another one of those stations west of the mighty Mississip starting with "K" being KDKA, of course.

Also works the other way around - as Channel 8 in Dallas (ABC) is WFAA..One of the few "W"'s to the west ...

I should have known that. I did, actually, but it wasn't in my personal RAM when I posted. To make up for it, I'll point out that KDKA in Pittsburgh (Cullen country!) is another Viacom-owned CBS affil. Its radio station was the very first commercial station in America.

(not feeling too smart today, so I'll refrain from commenting on Aaron's typo.)

KYW Radio actually started in *Chicago* back in the 20s.  Sometime in the 40s, Westinghouse transferred the calls to Philadelphia.  Around 1950, NBC and Westinghouse made a Philadelphia-Cleveland swap which lasted for 15 years, when the FCC ordered the owners to swap back, for whatever reason.  At that time, the NBC-owned radio and TV stations in Philly were known as WRCV.

Now, WKYC-TV is owned by Gannett and the former WKYC Radio was sold by NBC back in the early 70s and is now owned by Clear Channel as WTAM, its pre-Westinghouse calls.  (It was known in the 70s and 80s as WWWE--"3WE.")

ObGameShow, sort of:  Syndicated "Truth of Consequences" organist Dave Bacal was a staff musician at KYW in Chicago back in the 30s and 40s, billed as "The Singing Organist."

I would love to..But I have a somewhat limited number of TV Listings to draw from..
Cleveland from July 1953..(possibly the first National TV Guide with Cleveland listings-from Microfilm copy)
Cleveland June 1961
Cleveland January 1965
Cleveland October 1973
Cleveland December 1974
Cleveland July 1975 (All TV Guide)
Pittsburgh February-March 1953 (Known as TV Digest-Pre TV Guide publication)
Pittsburgh May 1958 TV Guide
Southern Ohio April 1958 (Columbus/Cincinnati/Dayton) TV Guide
Southern Ohio May 1959 TV Guide
Southern Ohio December 1968 (Christmas Week) TV Guide
New York City October 1963 (New York Journal-American Newspaper)

Except for the first-Which I got at Cleveland Public Library, All the TV Guides listed came from a used bookstore in Alliance, Ohio.  If I do any more of these it will be from these sources.

Let me correct something here:

KDKA & KYW were only a few stations EAST of the Mississippi that started with a K not WEST.  Hope that clears it up.

I have a complete run of 1972-75 TVGs for Eastern Virginia I purchased a few years back which covers Norfolk, Richmond, Harrisonburg, Portsmouth and Charlottesville, thanks to an ad on Classifieds.com (Is that still around?)  Is there a specific time you'd like to revisit?
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

Interesting line-up...thanks!

For some reason, I find it interesting that no one carried Concentration, but eh...

If memory serves, I don't think anyone in Chicago did either (talking the Narz syndie version, not the network runs).  Mark J. could probably confirm or deny (he seems to have a knack for remembering such minutiae).  Norfolk I could understand because it's a smaller market, but for no one in Chicago to clear it is a bit of a mystery to me.

Yeah, nobody carried Narz C. in Flint, either.  What was really upsetting was watching one of those "Ask the Manager" deals TV5 used to do on the noon news, where somebody would ask why they took Concentration off and the guy would say "That show is no longer available from NBC."  Which I guess was true, but he coulda called Jim Victory.  Being a TV Guide reader even back then, I knew Detroit and Grand Rapids had it, why not us?
