Interesting that there are no independent or PBS station(s) listed by the newspaper.

Or the Columbus NBC station, WCMH-TV. Is this what was printed in the paper or are you (the original poster) being selective in the stations you're choosing to list?

I agree about being selective on both counts -- in the paper's weekly TV listings in the May 15, 1987 edition, the channels listed were as follows:

Cable 3 -- CBN
Channel 3 (Cable 2) -- WSAZ (NBC)
Cable 4 -- ESPN
Cable 5 -- WTBS Atlanta
Channel 6 -- WTVN (ABC)
Channel 8 - WCHS (ABC)
Channel 33 (Cable 9) -- WPBY (PBS)
Channel 10 -- WBNS (CBS)
Channel 20 (Cable 11) -- WOUB (PBS)
Cable 13 -- CNN
Channel 13 (Cable 12) - WOWK (CBS)
Cable 14 -- WGN Chicago
Channel 15 - WTAP (NBC)
Channel 23 (at the time) (Cable 7) - WVAH (independent)

WCMH was not listed, as it was not carried on the local cable system. But they did carry two PBSs, two superstations and the local indy (WVAH), which were not listed in the original post.

Based on that lineup, having three NBC stations in the listings would be a bit much **, so I can understand no WCMH. But it would have been nice if the two PBSers and WVAH were given some shine in the post.

** I spent the summer of '87 with relatives in Tazewell, VA (in the Bluefield area) and the cable system there received three NBC affiliates -- WVVA Bluefield, WCYB-TV Bristol, and WSLS-TV Roanoke. Over the air we received WVVA and WSLS but not WCYB. I would assume the local paper in Tazewell (which I don't remember reading) may have listed WVVA and one of the other two, maybe all three.
