Tucson, Arizona TV schedule for Wednesday 5 February 1964. Source is the Arizona Daily Star edition for that day.
I believe this is the first time I've posted a TV schedule from the southern US. Many cities in the south lacked an ABC affiliate, so Tucson was lucky to not only have an ABC affiliate, but a NET affiliate as well. They were also lucky to have all four networks on VHF. There is a varied range of programs on the schedule: comedies, dramas, soaps, game shows, a TV movie, variety/music, animation, educational shows, documentaries, heck there's even a proto-reality show on the schedule, and a little bit of local programming.
Note: During daytime various 5-minute news updates were broadcast. These are not listed in the newspaper I used as a source, but I know they aired following shows like "Love of Life" and "Match Game". That's why "Match Game" episodes of the 1960s are so damn short, because the final 5 minutes consisted of one of these news dates.
Unfortunately, many of the game shows, local shows, soap operas and newscasts on the schedule are lost. For example, the 1960s version of "Match Game" (with very different rules to the well-preserved 1970s version) aired for hundreds of episodes, of which less than 20 survive. It would not surprise me if some of the educational telecasts are lost too.
