Request: Stations for several 1980s syndicated cartoons

Hey, everyone. I've noticed that several Wikipedia articles on syndicated cartoons from the 80s list the local stations that ran these series. Unfortunately, none of these lists are complete--but maybe you can help change that. If you know a station that carried one of the series below and isn't already listed, or can correct a station listed by mistake, please either add the info to the article (if you're a Wikipedia editor) or send it to me so I can do it. Here are links to station lists in the articles:

• Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers
• Bravestarr
• Centurions
• Defenders of the Earth

Thanks for helping!
 
I grew up with these cartoons.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think WSYT (channel 68) in Syracuse, NY, may have carried Defenders of the Earth and Centurions. I don't know if either of these shows had a Rochester or Buffalo affiliate. If they did, it was most likely WUHF (channel 31) for Rochester, and either WUTV (channel 29) or WNYB (channel 49) for Buffalo.

I'm sure anyone who has TV listings from western or central NY from the mid to late 80s could shed more light on this.
 
In Boston:

Bravestarr and Galaxy Rangers and perhaps Sabre Rider: WSBK/38
Centurions and Defenders Of The Earth: WXNE turned WFXT/25

BTW, WSBK also ran Rambo Animated from Ruby-Spears as well
 
Thanks, Jake and Steve!

• To Jake: I'll add WSYT to the Centurions and Defenders articles. If you ever get more confirmation on who carried these shows in upstate New York, please let me know.

• To Steve: Yes, WSBK was one of five stations that ran all three space western cartoons. The others were KUTP Phoenix, WPTT (now WPMY) Pittsburgh, WBFS Miami and WIII (now WSTR) Cincinnati.
 
Bravestarr was on KSTW-11 in Seattle/Tacoma at 2:30pm weekdays. This would have been 1987-88.

Okay, so some Wikipedia editor took all the Stations subsections down because they're "not necessary" or something. Maybe I should move them here?
 
According to some of the microfilms newspapers that I have read at my library, BraveStarr aired on WTXF-TV from 1987 to about early 1989.
