In March of 1987, I believe ABC was offering "Ryan's Hope" at noon and "Loving" at 12:30. WTEN did air "Loving" in the soap's later years; I don't know for certain whether 10 ever aired "RH", but since my mother recalls watching it, I assume it did.
 
And no listings for the other stations in the market (WMHT, WXXA, and whatever channel 45 was back then)? Or even the ABC affiliate in Utica?

IIRC the Gazette never listed WUTR. WKTV only got listed because of its monster signal which had Grade B coverage of Schenectady and in the analog era could carry to the points where CBFT/WCBS/WGBH would eat it up.

This would've been an interesting period for 45, being that this was right around the time when it was bought by WMHT at a fire sale. I have a TVG from a few weeks earlier which doesn't list 45 and TVG's Albany edition never listed 45 when it was PBS, only re-adding it when WMHT sold it in 1999.

Worth noting is that B&B was a week old at this point...What did they do when ATWT aired at 1:30 and Capitol was on at 2:30?
