WJZ (ABC 13 Baltimore) - Kind of odd how WJZ was included but not the other two Baltimore VHF's. Did they have a better signal?

Even though I don't have an answer for this I can tell you it was the exact same thing in far western Maryland ( Cumberland ). WJZ & WBFF were on cable out there but not WMAR or WBAL.

Too bad you didn't go back ten years earlier when Fredericksburg had their own TV station called WHFV. WHFV was an NBC affiliate on channel 69 but they were only on the air from 1973, 1974 and some of 1975.
