Surprised to see the Milwaukee and Green Bay channels on the Ludington system.
Click to expand...

The Green Bay stations lasted until the 2009 digital transition. Also, Whitehall and Montague had WVTV on cable until 2006, likely as a result of Grand Rapids never having a standalone WB affiliate.

Back in the 1970s and 1980s, Mason County (and Manistee County just to the north) routinely had 25-49% NWC or even 50+% NWC from the Green Bay stations in the TV Factbooks from that era. They were gone from Manistee cable (C-TEC) by the early 1990s (either as a result of Manistee being slightly closer to Traverse City and Cadillac or the cable system wanting to carry a bunch of movie channels on a capacity-limited system or a mix of both - in the mid/late 1990s, the C-TEC system in Manistee carried HBO, HBO 2, Cinemax, Cinemax 2, Showtime, Encore, and Starz! in addition to two PPV channels and Disney Channel, which was transitioning from premium to basic)
