Correction on cable 5...that should read (35) WLIO-NBC Lima; ch 33 was listed in the paper though...

Was 2 Around the Town a show on WDTN, Dayton? Otherwise the listing makes no sense.

Probably not, "Around The Town" may have just been the name of the channel (local origination).

Lima cable at the time didn't offer a complete network lineup from any one city. It was basically an infill market, like Zanesville, Parkersburg, or Lafayette, in between other large and more or less equidistant markets (except for the Zanesville market, which has somewhat of the same relationship to Columbus that Hazard does to Lexington, except that for several reasons Hazard is within the Lexington DMA).

Around the Town was the name of the LO channel, listings in later papers list it as public access.

 

[ftballfan]

Did the Lima paper include channel listings for other surrounding areas?

 

[TR1968]

Yep...Dayton (2-7-22-45), Toledo (11-13-24-36), Fort Wayne (15-21-33-55), and 10 from Columbus!
