Hey, how cool is this ad from the Deseret News in Salt Lake City, circa 1963?:

Those were the days of the horror movie hosts and KCPX-TV, the ABC affiliate in Salt Lake City, had "FIreman Frank," a kiddie show host who doubled as the off-screen voice of "Nightmare Theater." On this occasion, the scheduled feature was the classic "Mothra." But I'm pretty sure it never aired.

I love this one, too, from the old WIIC-TV Pittsburgh (now WPXI, still an NBC affiliate):

What a lineup! Liberace AND Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali in his youth, both on Jack Paar! You absolutely would have made time to see that one... but I don't think it aired.

Meanwhile, on a rival station:

The ABC lineup that night was a waning "77 Sunset Strip," "Burke's Law" before the Bond craze swept him up, "The Farmer's Daughter" with the late Inger Stevens, and boxing, followed by a late night showing of "Sayonara." You might have been tempted to watch, but those shows didn't actually make it to the air that night.

And here's a cool 1963-style ad for a radio station:

KBEE Modesto, with the call of the annual Big Game between Cal and Stanford. That game was not played as scheduled that Saturday. The Niners-Packers game was played, amidst controversy over whether the game should have been played at all.

Why these shows didn't air can be explained by the fact that these ads are all from the same day.

November 22, 1963.

The nation had other things on its mind.
