Pittsburgh PA had two:
WIIC TV (11) had Captain Jim (Eckman) who dressed up in a boat captain's
uniform and hosted an afternoon cartoon show featuring Popeye cartoons.  I
went to grade school with his daughter.

WTAE-TV (4) had Paul Shannon's Adventure Time, which featured "Three
Stooges" and "Our Gang" films, and had a daily studio audience of
grade-schoolers.  Also featured was Paul's alter ego "Nosmo King", who made
appearances during the show (Paul in hat and sunglasses).  Nosmo didn't
talk, I don't remember exactly what he did do, other than appear on the
show.

Right Frank?
