All these cable systems had Foxnet instead of KDVR Denver. Which makes no sense because it was alive and well on Satcom C1 transponder 5 in the Denver Six package, and many systems carried KRMA.
Some places like Big Sandy were missing PBS! And good ole TCM on cable in several towns in the middle of nowhere, like Valier. But no Showtime.
Another interesting note - no Nickelodeon on the Glasgow system, but yet this isolated town of 3,300 got Court TV.
Those Spokane stations, which by Havre were 362 miles away, had to be through microwave (no C-Band uplink for any of them).

Also notice that Foxnet was high up on many systems and completely missing from some of the smaller communities. Most of the communities were served by TCI (the obvious signs being Encore on 14 and carriage of Encore Plex). Also no WB on most of them (Great Falls got WB 100+ while some smaller communities got WGN, which was still airing WB programming on the Superstation feed at this point). The Spokane stations (the three carried in Havre as well as KAYU and KSPS) had a microwave link as they were (and still are) carried in most of Alberta.
