The defending World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates made their 1961 TV debut on 4-28-61 against the eventual NL champs for the year, Cincinnati. Before I decide whether to do at least a partial replay, here are some ads as they may have sounded that night on Pitt TV, keeping in mind that I'm not a Pitt TV expert, just one who happens to read Post-Gazette's from the Google archives.
WIIC-TV: You've seen her on Jack Paar, now see her for yourself tonight and Saturday! Don't miss loveable comic star Phyllis Diller and special musical guests perform 2 shows nightly at 9 and 11:30 at the Horizon Room located at the airport in Pittsburgh. Don't miss the laughs!
Tonight's "Movie Hall of Fame" presentation stars WC Fields in that madcap comedy hit, "The Bank Dick," tonight at 7 on Channel 11.
It's a night of encores on the Telephone Hour as Rosemary Clooney and Robert Preston perform their acts from this past season, tonight at 9. Then stay tuned as Jane Powell and special guests Casey Stengel and Art Carney pay a musical comedy tribute to Spring as your local Pepsi bottler presents "Young at Heart," tonight at 10, here on 11.
"W11C-TV, Pittsburgh."
WTAE-TV: Jim Backus enters the ring tonight and scores a comic knockout against some fight fixers. Tune in tonight at 7:30, here on TV-4.
"This is Efrem Zimbalist Jr. When accidents happen on a Western movie set, they're not part of the script. Watch us saddle up tonight here on ABC." 77 Sunset Strip tonight at 9 on TV-4.
KDKA-TV: Spencer Tracy tosses his hat in the ring and finds the road to the White House is a bumpy one. Katherine Hepburn co-stars in "State Of The Union," tonight at 11:15 on Channel 2.

Was "Fang" really at that Diller show? Guess I better read the reviews...
