daytime tv- weekdays 1950-51

Not sure if this is of any help, but this page, from the 6 March 1951 edition of "Brooklyn Eagle", provides TV listings from that day starting at 12:00PM, and also has the morning schedules (starting at 9:30AM) for the following day:

The 14 November 1951 edition of Herald Statesman (also from New York) provides daytime listings for the following day (see bottom of page):

Some of the shows on the schedule are good (I've enjoyed the footage I've managed to see of "The Garry Moore Show" during the last few years), some of them are terrible ("Strike it Rich"), some are mediocre ("The Frances Langford-Don Ameche Show"), and the majority of them are as lost as a John Bunny film.

Additional:
18 October 1950 edition of "Herald Statesman" has daytime schedule for the following day (again, bottom of page):

Thank you. Very helpful stuff. I didn't realize there was so much on TV while I was wasting time at school. Interesting that the Brooklyn Eagle gives the times the test patterns will be on.

I remember kiddie shows like Romper Room, games shows and soap operas during the day. Of course, I was in school so I didn't get to see many of them unless I was sick that day.

Edit: I lived in Birmingham, AL, until 1954 when we moved to Houston, TX

Just a note: sometimes the newspaper website linked to isn't available. I think the pages weren't available earlier today, not sure when they'll come back on (maybe already?).
