Surprised they didn’t have WHYY. I can’t understand WHYY, there was just enough room for it, and channel 8 was the only channel on A not to be used.

But there’s also something interesting about the TV itself. It has a radio built into it. I think that used to be common in hotels.
 
I'm guessing this was from a hotel in Atlantic City or Wildwood (or somewhere between the two) based on the presence of WMGM in the lineup.

It makes me wonder if 8 was intended to be NJN or WKBS
 
America's #1 cable network, Superstation WTBS, wasn't carried in this hotel's cable lineup. That's a major omission, as you'd think travelers would enjoy spending the night with a classic movie or National Geographic Explorer...or a Braves game.
