I am guessing that these were cable listings?

There is no way that you're going to get WKBD in Escanaba over the air.

Correct (WKBD and WWTV had microwave links into the UP at the time). WKBD actually remained on cable in the UP until it dropped FOX for UPN (it was the first of five FOX affiliates to serve the Upper Peninsula)
