I believe you're right, Stitch. As a matter of fact, I remember for a short period they had editions distributed to South Central Indiana (in a Louisville/Lexington TV market edition) and Southeast Indiana (Cincinnati/Dayton/Columbus).
 
About a week later after these listings were made, WRTV (6) and WTHR (13) would swap network affiliations; 6 to ABC, 13 to NBC.

Never knew about the other 2 editions...if anyone out there has a copy of one of those 2 editions, can they post a line-up of the channels listed?
