There's a few programs I don't know what the original title was, so if any of you know these shows, let me know.

Amos & Andy - listed as on KERG, the CBS affiliate at 7:15 P.M. - was no doubt "The Amos & Andy Music Hall". This was a five night a week night program that began in the 1950's and actually continued after the long-lasting "Amos & Andy Show" ended. It featured Freeman Gosden & Charles Correll doing the famous stable of characters from the show such as Amos, Andy and the Kingfish who introduced popular records along with an easy-going plot of some kind. One of the records featured on each show was a special memory recording dedicated to a listener. Interestingly, the A & A Music Hall was 25 minutes long though for some reason it is blocked into 15 minutes in these listings. This program continued until November, 1960.

Garner Ted Armstrong?

More likely his father - Herbert W. Armstrong. Herbert hosted the show on radio for decades, then I believe Garner Ted took over the program in the mid or late 60s - until he had a falling out with his father in the early 70s. Herbert decided his son was in the "bonds of Satan," and had hm excommunicated from the church.
 
I have a theory as to why a 25 minute radio program looks like a fifteen-minute time period. IF the schedules in the newspaper were in a grid format with hours and quarter hours listed on the left side of the grid.

I had the same problem when I was copying schedules for my broadcastig website. The NBC radio station listed Monitor during the hour with local news at half past. It looked as though the newscast was fifteen minutes long when in realty it should have been five minutes in length.

Old schedules are fun to look at and try to decipher.

Lowell Thomas commentary? He WAS at CBS back then.

Also, it looks like KASH might have been programming some of 'that Rock and Roll music' at the time.

Frank Goss was a newscaster (or commentator perhaps?) at KNX 1070 Los Angeles
who must have also done left coast 'casts on the CBS Pacific Network.

The World Tonight was the early evening predecessor of the current CBS World News
Roundup--Late Edition.

Tom Harmon (NCIS Mark's dad)--based in El Lay--did sports for CBS Radio.
