Do you have listings for WIII-TV 64?

Do you have listings for WIII-TV 64?

Unfortunately, The Madison Courier did not carry listings for WIII Channel 64,
which in 1990 changed it's call letters to WSTR and became known on air as
Star 64. In January 1995, it became Cincinnati's UPN Affiliate, then switched to
The WB in 1998 and is now the market's MyNetworkTV affiliate.

 

[FRR]

Man, television really SUCKED that year/

 

[BobbyNBC10]

Why did it suck,FRR?.

Did the Madison Courier also carry the Louisville stations, since Madison is about halfway between Cincy and Louisville and I would think Louisville stations would also be offered on cable there (at least at that time)? What about some Indy--even if it was only the then-indy WTTV-4 Bloomington/Indianapolis? (I would think that would have been on Madison's cable lineup at the time, back when it had the "regional superstation" feel).

[BobbyNBC10]

Did WLWT Channel 5 ever air daytime Wheel or Scrabble?. I know they did not air Super Password.

 

[FRR]

Why did it suck,FRR?.

I don't know, just a personal opinion. I don't think there was a series that I liked in prime time and think around this time I really got into cable. I hated the comedies with those fake laugh tracks and about the only series I watched for Miami Vice and that was pulled in '89. I haven't watched commercial TV in several years. Between these survivor shows and this dancing with non famous folks or so called famous folks it can't get more boring than that. Guess I'll stick to my movie channels and Billy the Exterminator. Lol
