The Browns were THE team back then in Dayton; it took a long time for the Bengals to gain any traction with local fans after they came along in 1968. Since the Bengals were AFL, am I right in recalling that there were no conflicts about "primary markets", etc. until after the AFL merged with the NFL? My fuzzy memory tells me the Browns were on every single week in Dayton during the 1960s, no matter what.emery_rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870661804526939428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-63662329852782226842009-08-31T22:09:18.646-04:002009-08-31T22:09:18.646-04:00Here is the link to a July story on WHIO's web...Here is the link to a July story on WHIO's website about pre-season Browns games.

During one of the taped shows, viewers saw a wrestler named "Ravishing" Rick Rude wrestling.<br /><br />However, in the week between when the show was taped and when the show was aired, Rude jumped ship and signed a contract with WCW. Since their flagship show "Monday Night Nitro" was done live every week. Rude appeared on Nitro. Thus, he appeared on two seperate television programs on the same night on different networks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-77653068935741011512009-08-31T13:32:58.111-04:002009-08-31T13:32:58.111-04:00You're correct about the Bengals.
