Wikipedia and other sites on the web have information stating that WGHP channel 8 in High Point never broadcast Dark Shadows as part of their schedule. That information is false.There were many of the ABC network shows that WGHP moved to different timeslots to accomadate their local programming.Dark Shadows was just one of those. The clipping you see here is from Dec.27,1966. Look at the 10:00 a.m. slot for the Nurses on channel 8. The Nurses was also moved from the afternoon schedule. On other ABC affiliates the Nurses aired in the afternoon prior to Dark Shadows.

Wikipedia's information is not always accurate so it's no surprise they messed up on this as well. They should do their research and get their facts straight.
I agree.Too often I see things on message boards like,"I heard" or "I read" or "someone told me".It seems that in a majority of these cases that the information is being provided by folks who never actually witnessed what is being discussed.Too bad.Anything published on the internet is going to become a part of recorded history.
