I would absolutely bet on it, because that's what happened.  Herb 
Jepko's Nitecaps show debuted in early February 1964 on KSL, and he 
did some of his own syndicating till Mutual finally picked him 
up.  Built up a large audience of overnight fans, had a club with a 
membership card, annual conventions, volunteer groups called 
Nitestands that did good deeds in the community, etc.  By all 
accounts, a very good person whose audience was considered "too old" 
by Mutual...
