I always liked the Freep's Michigan State edition of their "TV Book" -- they practically listed almost every station in Michigan, plus Toledo and the Canadian Soo (unfortunately, they had no listings for South Bend, Chicago, Duluth or Green Bay (other than WJMN)). They had so many channels that the bullet legend only lists the channel and the city -- no calls or affiliation.

If you have time, could you list the other channels?

It should be noted that at this time, CBET produced zero local news and was prohibited from soliciting local advertising. CBET merely rebroadcast CBLT's newscasts from Toronto, although there was apparently some Windsor content as a news bureau still existed in Windsor. I am not sure if they rebroadcast CBLT's advertising, or if they picked up the CBLN feed from London. This situation existed from 1991-1994.

Was this a local newscast, and who produced it? Because if it was then channel 62 was a better station back then!<P ID="signature">______________

Maybe earlier -- 1993. I recall staying at my sister's in Southeastern Michigan in June 1993 (where they got CBET over-the-air), and local Windsor ads were back on CBET by that time.

That, or maybe Toronto or London's selling Windsor spots instead of CBET.

Actually, I think it's a repeat of a 6PM newscast from WJBK ch.2 (I think).<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by rugrats1 on 11/01/05 12:10 AM.</FONT></P>

I'm assuming you meant "Another World" instead of "General Hospital" on Channel 4 since GH is an ABC show and further down you list WXYZ as carrying it.

When did WJBK stop showing CBS This Morning? I was pretty sure they were already doing Eyewitness Morning by 1992...
