*Note: [Lowell Sun 10Sep1968]
Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" was canceled Monday in a time clash with
NBC, also cancelling network programming following an American Football
League game, Carson refused to tape the show because of the game between
the Houston Oilers and Kansas City Chiefs, which would run past 11:30pm,
scheduled starting time of his program. Each NBC affiliate was told to institute
its own programming following the game. The decision to make no substitution
for Carson's show was made at a meeting between representatives of the
entertainer
and NBC Monday afternoon.
