We used to get some of the Cincy channels like channels 5, 9 and 19 up in Dayton, but the reception was pretty fuzzy. I used to like channel 19 because it was independent. We didn't have any independent stations in Dayton in the 70s, just the big four (ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS). WXIX used to have some good old timey shows on Saturdays as I recall, like the Bowery Boys, the Three Stooges and Our Gang. My mom told me they were her favorites when she was a child, so I would watch them too. 

Remember them as well, even though I never visited one of their stores.  We also used to watch a lot of Cincinnati shows despite being in the Dayton market.  My sister and I watched Uncle Al, and my mom was a big fan of Paul "Baby" Dixon and Ruth Lyons.  
60 Minutes did a retrospective on Morely just the Sunday before last, and he died a few days later.  But, his family said he got to see the show.  He was an old school reporter, to be sure.
