Guest Rose Kennedy and Dinah Shore from Dinah’s Place

Dinah’s Place ran on NBC-TV from 1970 to 1974. The show featured
famous guest stars and experts on nutrition, exercise and homemaking.

Despite the fact the show was among the most popular programs in the
morning lineup of NBC, it left the air after Shore was sent a telegram 
informing her the show was being cancelled, because it broke up a
“game show programming block”. Thus NBC’S 35-year association  
with Dinah Shore ended.

 The Guiding Light is a television soap opera that is credited by the Guinness
Book of World Records as the longest-running television drama in history, airing
from 1952 until 2009, preceded by a 15-year broadcast on radio. It stands as
the third longest-running program in all of broadcast history.

On April 1, 2009, CBS canceled Guiding Light due to low ratings, ending its 72-
year run. The show taped the last scenes on August 11, 2009, and its final
episode was broadcast September 18, 2009.
