[KyDXIn]

I turned six this day.  From TV Guide,

Congrats!  I had six more years to go!

[Ultimajock]

I turned six this day.  From TV Guide,

Congrats!  I had six more years to go!

...I was born three weeks after this date...

[fortmill]

WAVE/3/Louisville must have been airing a few ABC programs, in addition to NBC, prior to WLKY's sign on in 1961.  I notice "The Real McCoys" which I believe was an ABC show, listed in the WAVE log for 10:30.  I believe the Real McCoys aired at 7:30 or 8:00 eastern time on the regular ABC schedule.

[bpatrick]

Both WAVE and WHAS carried a few ABC shows
(WAVE more than WHAS), but for some reason
the local edition of TV Guide never listed WAVE
as NBC/ABC or WHAS as CBS/ABC, although it
did with WLEX and WKYT.

Of course, today WHAS is the ABC affiliate in
Louisville.
