    Monitor wasn't just evenings, in its heyday it was on for most of
    Saturday and Sunday during the day.  At some point in the early sixties,
    it was extended to weekday evenings for awhile as well. Many other
    programs were incorporated into Monitor.  For example, Groucho Marx's
    "You Bet Your Life" moved from Wednesday evenings to Saturday
    afternoons, where it became a feature of Monitor.  Later, when Monitor
    was on weekday evenings, YBYL moved to Monday evenings for its last
    season on radio.
