East Bay Area, CA (1973-1980)

[RandTV]

Here is the channel lineup from my time living in Concord and Dublin, CA in those years:

2 KTVU Oakland
3 KCRA (NBC) Sacramento
4 KRON (NBC) San Francisco
5 KPIX (CBS) San Francisco
6 KGSC (Ch. 36) San Jose
7 KSGO (ABC) San Francisco
8 KEMO (Ch. 20) San Francisco
9 KQED (PBS) San Francisco
10 KXTV (CBS) Sacramento
11 KTXL (Ch. 40) Sacramento
12 KBHK (Ch. 44) San Francisco
13 KOVR (ABC) Sacarmento

Also, starting in late 1978 or early 1979, at around 6:00 pm, Channel 10 was taken over by KQEC Ch. 32, the secondary PBS station to KQED, and Channel 3 by KDTV San Francisco (SIN; now Univision). The latter's channel number was 60 until March 5, 1979 when it swapped channel numbers with PBS affiliate KCSM Channel 14 of San Mateo.

KTVU was carried all the way to Washington state in the late 1970s. And KTXL was carried in parts of southern Oregon.

I mistyped 'KGO' as 'KSGO' of course!
