CBLT 5-CBC Toronto
8:30 Arthur (CBC's version edits out the mid-show kids segment)

I believe that the special mid-show segment was exclusive to PBS -- international copies, including those used by the CBC, had no special inserts. I think the closing credits on the CBC version was also different from PBS's.

Radio-Canada's version of Arthur was the same way -- two stories, no inserts.

WNYB 21-TCT/TBN Jamestown

Weren't they on 26? I don't think they could be on 21, due to WXXI Rochester and WFMJ Youngstown. Maybe it was the Buffalo repeater at the time, though I have doubts, due to WXXI (WNYB's repeater in Buffalo is currently on channel 15).
 
This sounds exactly like the lineup the hotel we stayed at had back in 1996! And I remember when I went to watch Price is Right on WIVB, the feed switched to that of CHCH, and then changed back once it was over and the noon news started.

Now that I think about it, I think it was on 26...not sure what WNYB's Buffalo relay was on at the time, the Review listed it as 21 for some reason :D
