a result of the Apollo 1 fire on January 27, 1967, the network washed its hands of Psycho. Shortly afterward Paramount included the film in its first syndicated package of post-1950 movies, "Portfolio I". WABC-TV in New York City was the first station in the country to air Psycho (with some scenes significantly edited), on its late-night movie series, The Best of Broadway, on June 24, 1967. The film finally made its way to general television broadcast in one of Universal's syndicated programming packages for local stations in 1970.
