Surprised to see channel 20 of Waterbury on those cable systems!

Both systems that had WTXX served areas along the Connecticut line. C-Tec probably also had WFSB on 3, WTNH on 8, and WEDH somewhere (the current system [Comcast] serving Beekman and Pawling carries WFSB and WEDH to this day).

Also notice that the New York City-based UHFs didn't have any cable carriage!
