Re: Pittsburgh, November 25-29, 1968 (Part 2: Ohio Valley & Johnstown/Altoona area)

Didn't realize WFBG and WJAC were running occasional ABC programs in 1968. Was WTAE, the ABC affiliate in Pittsburgh, not available in the market at the time?

Basically put, in 1968, there was NO ABC primary/exclusive affiliates between Pittsburgh (WTAE) and Harrisburg (WTPA 27, now WHTM). If you had cable, from about Altoona and west, your cable system picked up WTAE for ABC programming. From roughly east of Altoona, your cable system latched onto WTPA for ABC viewing. Northeast of Altoona (State College in particular), some sytems would hook up to WNEP 16 from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for ABC shows.
