They carried KTVU-TV from Oakland/San Francisco? Huh?

KTVU was carried in many places throughout the country at that time. It was basically a WTBS wannabe.

KTVU had early satellite carriage, but went away pretty quickly, before TVRO/C-Band became popular. KTVU was still carried in southern Oregon throughout the '80s on microwave.
WGN-9 Chicago also went to satellite around this time, bringing the Cubs and Bozo to a growing national audience.

I think KTVU still had cable carriage well into the 1990s in far northern California and southern Oregon, due to those areas not having a FOX affiliate of their own
