Even though this was a cable channel out of Edmonton, a lot of the shows listed here I do remember as many of them did pop up during the day on Harrisonburg, VA's PBS WVPT-TV channel 51 back in the 70s and 80s when many local Virginia school systems would tape the shows and air them later to be played in class. All about You is one I remember. Wikipedia says production was stopped on that show way back in 1974 yet 6 years later that show pops up here and even as late as 1988 I heard some school systems were still showing All About You. Polka Dot Door was another I remember.

"Finding Out My own Way" and "Let's Visit"...I seem to remember those shows were also seen on WVPT during the the day. But I am not sure if what I saw in Virginia was the same as what was seen in Edmonton. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

Though not listed here, around the time of these listings there was a kids gameshow ( again this aired on WVPT ) called "Contact" ( NO..it wasn't 3-2-1- Contact ).
A game show that teachers would play during English class..and yes we would have a quiz afterwards. For an educational show many would assume they had a low budget, however that show looked almost as good as The Price is Right and the other "big time" game shows. Years later ( 1985 ) when I started to work at our local public library ( my very first job for which I was making $2.45 per hour ;D ) , my co-worker was none-other than my old English teacher. One day during break, both her and I were talking about "Contact" and I can remember her telling me that "Contact" was a show that came out of Edmonton, Canada. I wonder if this "EECC" was the home station for "Contact". If so, then this cable channel sure had money.

Were Spokane stations available via cable in Edmonton?

What's with the odd start times here? Local inserts, perhaps?

Even though this was a cable channel out of Edmonton...

Didn't Access, the provincial educational network available largely on cable, begin in 1973?

...a lot of the shows listed here I do remember as many of them did pop up during the day on Harrisonburg, VA's PBS WVPT-TV channel 51 back in the 70s and 80s when many local Virginia school systems would tape the shows and air them later to be played in class. All about You is one I remember. Wikipedia says production was stopped on that show way back in 1974 yet 6 years later that show pops up here and even as late as 1988 I heard some school systems were still showing All About You.

Do any of them still show old shows like this today? I've seen recent schedules of instructional TV programming for a few school boards, and none of the carried shows like this. "All About You", which dealt with body parts and health issues for elementary school kids, would probably turn off kids today -- you know today's kids wouldn't go for it if the host or characters look like someone from "That 70s Show".

It wouldn't surprise me if there was some rural school district out there someplace that still shows "All About You". The funny thing about shows like All about You, as dated as that was in the 80's, remembering some of the movies we watched in class, they were even more dated like the one safety flick we saw in shop just before graduation. This was in 1986. Kids using dated phrases like "groovy man" "keep the faith baby", and the scene of a guy cutting himself with a saw because he was paying more attention listening to PETULA CLARK !!! ..and that guy sure looked a LOT like Bobby Sherman !! Oh yes there were many guys in my class who looked like Mr. Easy Come Easy Go...ah no !!! The film was made in 1966. I am not even going to begin with those old film strips. LOL

Actually I am a little surprised that many schools today still use instructional TV programs since some of the school districts in my area have since turned to You Tube and the net for educational programming. Why spend money on such things when you can do your own?

Yes they were, and yes they still are.

I didn't realize that they were available that far back. Did they use satellite in 1980?

The Spokane channels never used satellite until Star Choice came to be, though I read somewhere that their signals were microwaved into Alberta.
