I belatedly remembered that Million Dollar Movie aired on Channel 9, which was a local station that probably couldn't push its signal much farther than PA/CT, if that far.

King Kong was a staple on the Million Dollar Movie, seemingly running for weeks on end.

In connection with my dad's learning how to repair TVs to supplement his teacher's salary we had one in '46 or so, in the reeeally early days of TV, so I remember shows and characters most people my age have never heard of.

(If you can locate it, there's a fascinating documentary about ‎Merian C. Cooper, who was responsible for King Kong, and whose 1925 movie Grass is also marvelous watching.)
