For the life of me I can't remember any live shows from that station, unlike channel 6 (WBNS) that had Luci's Toy Shop, and channel 4 (WCMH) Who had Paul Dixon (took the place of Ruth Lyons 50-50 Club) , and Bob Braun.
I'm trying to find out more information from my sister.......stay tuned !
Guess what? my sister can't recall either ! I guess it will remain one of those mysteries of life ..................lol
you ever thought pops you and your sister might have all timers
Oooooooooooo look a Squirrel !
Okay I did find more shows in the 60's (not sure what year your menu is)
The Jack Sherick Show
Gene's Canteen
Wonderbox
Cinderella and her friends
They also had their own Romper room franchise
I was a Luci's Toy shop gal, and raised on "Paul Baby" so I don't remember these.
