12:05a | Movie – “Ellery Queen, Master Detective” | |
Yes, this is back in the day when baseball's All Star Game was played in the afternoon. It was just a year or two before that there was not one, but two All Star Games each year (you'll be reading about that in a couple of weeks), and back then the game really mattered. There was no interleague play, few interleague trades, and a real sense of rivalry between the two. Besides, there wasn't that much on TV, so if you lived in an American League city as I did, it was one of your few opportunities outside of the World Series to see the National League.

12:30a | Politics ’64 – GOP Convention Preview | |
ABC, like NBC, has preview coverage of the Republican National Convention, which begins next week. The outcome of the convention isn't known for sure, although Barry Goldwater is the presumptive nominee, and the party platform still matters. Boy, how things have changed. I may or may not be right on this, but if memory serves Lisa Howard, anchor of the 1:55pm news update, was the first woman to anchor a network news program, even if it was only five minutes long.

WTCN starts late in the morning, as befits an independent station of the time. Pretty good syndicated lineup; I particularly like the midnight showing of One Step Beyond. A perfect time for that show.
