I don't even know if TVO had a transmitter in Windsor at that time - it was around that time that they began adding transmitters in addition to CICA in Toronto.

As far as I know, Detroit TV listings have never shown Global, Channel 22. The Detroit Free Press currently shows CBET/9, CICA/32, CKCO/42 (Sarnia/Chatham) and possibly CBEFT/54.

Also, this was likely the first week that Channel 9 was using the CBET calls. It was my understanding that CKLW changed to CBET in August of 1975.

CBET looks like an independent station here, which they sort of were to Detroit viewers when it was CKLW. Were they calling their newscasts "News 9" at the time? When did they expand to 90 minutes and move to early evening?<P ID="signature">______________

The St. Clair County edition of the Freep's Tv Book has Global listings, as Port Huron's Comcast system offers the channel. And last time I checked, the Freep had no CBEFT listings, though they did carry them in the past, through the early-1980s. They even mentioned sports on SRC in their sports section in the 1970s and 1980s, but not anymore.

I thought it was September when they made the change?
