Request: Dakota/Winnipeg TV Listings (1995-1999)

Anyone have TV listings from local TV guides from Dakota/Winnipeg from the late 90s? If so I'd love to see them posted! Just let me know if you have any.

Here are the US listings...

KXJB-TV CBS4 (Valley City)
WDAY-TV ABC6 (Fargo)
KJRR-TV FOX7 (Jamestown)
WDAZ-TV ABC8 (Grand Forks)
KBRR-TV FOX10 (Grand Forks)
KVLY-TV NBC11 (Grand Forks)
KNRR-TV FOX12 (Pembina)
KVRR-TV FOX15 (Fargo)
 
Slightly off topic but two of these North Dakota TV stations have among the tallest TV towers in the world. KVLY 11 NBC Fargo has a 2063 foot tower in Blanchard, North Dakota. When it was built it was the tallest structure in the world and remains the tallest in the U.S.

Nearby, KXJB 4 CBS Valley City-Fargo has a tower that is 3 feet shorter. When it was first built, the workers put a four foot tall flagpole on the top of the tower, temporarily making it the tallest structure in the world.

Both towers are more than 600 feet taller than the Empire State Building. I suppose they wanted to cover their market but they also wanted to hit viewers in Winnipeg, Canada's fifth largest TV market. Unfortunately for KVLY and KXJB, Winnipeg-area cable systems now get most of their U.S. channels by satellite from Detroit and Minneapolis.

Both towers may keep their distinctions as the tallest and second tallest structures in the U.S. for years to come. The FCC and FAA now discourage the building of towers more than 2000 feet tall.
