Interesting that some of the smaller towns around Defiance received more channels than Defiance, probably the biggest city in the region, did. I believe this was also a year or so before Fort Wayne got its own PBS affiliate, WFWA 39 (WBGU operated a translator previously in FW, also on channel 39).
