What's on TV? Sunday, June 19, 1966

As we read about on Saturday, ABC will be carrying live coverage of the conclusion to the 24 Hours of Le Mans this morning; Wide World of Sports ran from 1961 to 1998, and was one of television's essential programs during that time. CBS's version of Wide World, CBS Sports Spectacular, actually began a year earlier, in 1960; it's still kind of on TV, mostly on CBS Sports Network. NBC had a weekly sports anthology series as well, NBC Sports in Action (noon, KRCR), which ran in 1964 and 1965, and was hosted by Jim Simpson and Bill Cullen. (yes, that Bill Cullen; the man could do everything!) While it wasn't as successful as the other two, I'm willing to be that it was the only one to carry the World Octopus-Wrestling Championship, from Puget Sound, Washington. Yes, octupus wrestling was a thing back then—who knew? (I hope Bill Cullen covered it.) Seriously, this is the kind of information that could give you serious cred on trivia night at the local bar. And once again, you have TV Guide, specifically the Northern California edition, to thank for it.
