Most of these shows (Donna Reed, O.K. Crackerby,
The Munsters, Gilligan's Island, My Three Sons)
aired other nights on delay, but I don't have the
exact times.
No wonder the Raleigh News and Observer was pushing for
an NBC affiliate. Didn't happen until 1968, and then
WRDU/28 got the crumbs of CBS and NBC until it finally
became a fulltime NBC affiliate in 1971 (the FCC forced
WTVD to choose either CBS or NBC, and it chose CBS).
Today WRAL is the CBS affiliate, WTVD an ABC o&o,
WNCN/17 an NBC o&o, WRDC/28 is a UPN affiliate.
WLFL/22 is the WB affiliate and WRAZ/50 carries Fox.
PAX/i is WRPX/47, and WUVC/40 carries Univision.
