Two Broadcasts, One Station, Same Day

[Yhtapmys]

I've noticed in the Sunday listings for one small NBC station in Washington State for 1948 that it ran Jack's show at 4 p.m. (no doubt, a live 7pm ET broadcast).

But I see the same station also had Jack on again from 9:30 to 10 p.m. I'm presuming this couldn't have been live.

Was it common for stations to run Jack twice in a day back then?

Incidentally, it looks like this station ran the whole Eastern feed live. The Fitch Bandwagon was on at 4:30, Bergen and McCarthy at 5, Fred Allen at 5:30, Manhattan Merry-Go Round at 6, American Album at 6:30, Take It or Leave It at 7 and Horace Heidt at 7:30.

Jack's competition at 4 p.m. on the other local stations was Gene Autry on CBS and Sherlock Holmes on Mutual. At 9:30, it was Corliss Archer on CBS and Beyond Tomorrow on Mutual (ABC did not have a station in this market; the fourth station was an independent with local programming aplenty).
