In another thread, I just posted that Congress mandated UHF tuners be included in sets starting 1965. My CTC-15E has a space for a UHF tuner. Have no idea about the CTC-5.

The first UHF channel in Milwaukee was channel 25, a CBS affiliate in 1953.
The second one was channel 19, an independent that showed, IIRC Dumont programming. The educational UHF channels came out in the 1960's.
Originally they proposed one more UHF channel 31, which never materialized.
I have a late 1953 model RCA with the big Roto-matic tuner which came from the factory with 19,25 and 31 strips. Those tuners were very good.
Later on, the channel locations were changed to channel 18 and 24.
