More information is wanted about a mid to late 1960s weekday afternoon program called
Kim's Kartoon Kapers, that was hosted by a 12 year old girl named Kim Christie on WKTR-TV (now WPTD, the local PBS affliate) in the Dayton, Ohio area and licensed to Kettering, Ohio. It is always interesting to learn about local children's shows, but even more so when they were hosted by a child. According to an article on WKTR in
RCA Broadcast News, Volume 136, October 1967, young Kim did the program ad-lib, with at least one puppet character. One viewer recollection claims that she hosted
Batfink cartoons, which would have been a good fit for a local series on the air in 1967.
If you remember this series or have more information please leave a comment or email archivebuilder@gmail.com with "Kim's Kartoon Kapers" as the subject line.
