Re: ABC Split question/MCNEIL-GODFREY
Some East Coast station got permission to hold Godfrey to 1010am so that it didn't run head to head with Don McNeil. It didn't make sense to me why with so little network programming left in the early 60's that CBS wanted to run their last long form daytime show against ABC's last long form daytime show. I guess you could count House Party as long form but I think it was down to 20min by then and it was mostly an edited version of the tv show.
