3:00 Maury
4:00 Oprah Winfrey

Presence of Channel 9 on cable and Channel 12 on cable prior to 1997 (12 WKRC was the ABC affiliate till late in 1996) was only part of the reason. Cincinnati stations all came in with grade A signals into Dayton. 9 WCPO reached Dayton with no problem over the air as well as with cable. Dayton and Cincinnati are only a bit over 40 miles apart. The only closer markets to each other is Baltimore and Washington DC which are about 30 miles apart. So the VHF stations in Dayton and Cincinnati certainly reached each other's markets with a roof top antenna with no problems and with an indoor antenna as well in many areas. Once you get north of Dayton the signal from Cincinnati weakens. West of Dayton, Columbus, Ohio begins to come in easily as well. Columbus is a bit over 60 miles from Dayton so there is overlap there as well. Markets like Detroit and Flint; Ralleigh/Durham and Greemsboro/Winston-Salem/High Point; Providence and Boston and Manchester NH have similar distances in their respective areas that Cincinnati and Dayton do.
 
14/16 by this time at least partly simulcasting..

The note about Queen Elizabeth's 65th Birthday is interesting..I've been sharing 1953-mid-50's era Newspaper drawings by Cartoonist Fred Reinert of the Cleveland Plain Dealer on the Cleveland Classic Media Facebook Page. He would make a caricature of a National or Cleveland area TV star or subject to feature every Saturday on the Plain Dealer TV pages..I've been doing these in weekly order for a couple months now..

The December 26, 1953 drawing shows a couple of Newsworthy items during 1953-The Eisenhower Inauguaration and the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II..If she is still with us in June, she will have 63 years on the throne..

Here's a link to that picture (Hope it works)

Should have clarified the Happy Birthday Elizabeth listing a bit more :D...the Liz referred to there is actually Elizabeth Taylor, not HM the Queen...

How well could ch 5 (low V) and the Cincy Us be picked up in Dayton (and vice versa)?
 
Oops..Sorry for misreading..So much for all the effort that went into my post-Well, I STILL think it's interesting..LOL
