This is from ABC's 1963 fall preview presentation; unfortunately, after its first successful season as a half-hour series the previous spring, "HOOTENANNY" expanded to an hour in the fall of '63, and was scheduled against...."THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW: THE AMERICAN SCENE MAGAZINE" on CBS, which had more viewers. ABC's counter-programming idea didn't work, and they cancelled the show at the end of the season.
