1964–65 United States network television schedule (late night)
 |
|
|
These are the late-night schedules for all three networks for the 1964–65 season. All times are Eastern and Pacific.
1964 marked the debut of Les Crane's short-lived talk show on ABC, the first time since 1955 that any network other than NBC had offered non-news programming in the late-night time slot. Crane's show ended after less than a season.
NET is not included, as member television stations had local flexibility over most of their schedules, and broadcast times for network shows may vary. ABC and CBS are not included on the weekend schedules because those networks did not offer late-night programs of any kind on the weekend.
Talk/Variety shows are highlighted in yellow, Local News & Programs are highlighted in white.
