Idon't know how it is that I got a supply of TV Guides from Ohio, although I suspect I must have at one time or another purchased them from the same vendor. Anyway, 1956 is one of the older issues we've looked at, and you can see a lot of movement in the affiliations; we even have a couple of stations that bill themselves as being part of DuMont, although that network will cease to operate next month, and in fact even now the only regular programming they offer is boxing. We don't see that tonight, so it's up to the three networks to entertain us. Let's see how well they do.
