On January 3, 1965, this NBC program was re-broadcast on CBS, marking one of the first times that a TV special which originated on one major network was shown on a rival television network. One of the commercials aired during that second broadcast was a promo announcing CBS's upcoming 1965 telecast of "The Wizard of Oz", which took place on January 17, exactly two weeks after "Astaire Time" was re-broadcast.
