Compare to the current Gaffney lineup: http://tvschedule.zap2it.com/tvlist...rence=false&lineupId=SC63666:X&aid=tvschedule

WBTV and WSOC still seen to this day in Gaffney, with UNCTV returning (it was there in 1975 but not in 1978). Guessing the other Charlottes were dropped when more Greenville-based indies came on. Also a little surprised then-WAIM/WAXA and/or WIS weren't seen in the 70s.

The WBTV and WSOC carriage to this day is less surprising when I pulled up Google Earth and found out Gaffney is closer to the sticks of WBTV/WSOC than most of the Greenville stations.
