Does anyone know if threre is a list of stations that carried the 1980's original version of Elvira's Movie Macabre? I read once it was limited to the top 50 markets when it came out but may have later been available to lower markets. Thanks.

List of stations carring 1980's Movie Macabre
- Thread starter mississippi fan
- Start date
From memory, there are two stations I know for certain that carried Elvira: KHJ/KCAL Los Angeles and WCGV Milwaukee. Both stations aired the showcase around 10 or 11pm local time, depending on the year.
As I recall,it cleared in Boston for a time on WQTV-68 once it was no longer an OTA Pay outlet.
...I recall seeing Movie Macabre in Green Bay, and I'm pretty sure it was on indie WGBA/26. However, it may have moved over to Fox affiliate WXGZ/32 Appleton after I moved out of the market; perhaps Bluenoser has info on that ;D ...

WGGT Channel 48 in Greensboro, North Carolina aired "Elvira's Movie Macabre" on Saturday evenings in the early 1980s.
WLMT Channel 30 in Memphis, TN carried it on Saturday nights
WCGV/Milwaukee aired it on Saturday nights at 9PM
After it dropped over-the-air pay-TV in 1983, WQTV-68 here in Boston aired Elvira late on Saturday nights.
One film I recall her showing was "Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes", which I later got on a VHS videocassette (no, I don't have the film on DVD), which I thought was a hilarious movie!!

Didnt Elvira originally play on KPHO (5) in Phoenix, then when KNXV's local horror host Edmus Scarey got ran out of town, Elvira moved over and replaced him, circa 1986??
