Exaggerated TV News Tactics Shape Early Evening Airs
Local news coverage and scheduling shifts are examined with a focus on audience strategies. The piece notes 1965 as a turning point when most stations did not favor six o clock starts and highlights Channel 3 WEWS Channel 5 as examples of later 7 pm starts and the importance of lead-in programs for viewer retention.
Memories of 1965 Cleveland TV lineups and news lead-ins
The article recalls Cleveland TV in 1965 with kids shows and odd mid day slots on Channel 3 5 and 8. It notes Channel 5’s 7 p m newscast used Woody Woodpecker as a lead in and Channel 8 used adventure Road hosted by Jim Doney. It contrasts today’s news with then’s entertainment heavy schedule. It mentions Rex Humbard filling a 7 45 slot and Captain Penny’s Clubhouse on Channel 5. It states most children’s programs later moved to UBF stations like WUAB Channel 43 which did not exist then and that news has grown too important to pair with cartoon characters.
