Chicago TV schedule for Friday 2 December 1966.
Sadly, the game shows and soap operas on the schedule are mostly lost, and some of the kiddie shows are lost or partially lost too. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the educational shows are lost too.
All four networks are represented...yes, four! NET (National Educational Television) was around, and while most of their programming consists of dull educational series, there's also an excellent TV play, "An Enemy of the People", which I've seen via a DVD release.
Strictly speaking, WXXW (Channel 20) is a defunct station, going off the air in the 1974. The current Channel 20, WYCC, debuted in 1983.
