Interesting that this is the "Paducah" edition, as they only have one station in the guide. :D

The Southern Indiana/Western Kentucky edition (now that's the name TV-Guide should have
used. ;)

IIRC ch 3 and 12 are also considered part of the market as well. Can't remember the exact name of the market at the moment, but I'm pretty sure Cape Girardeau is in the name of it...

I'm too lazy to use the google but I believe it is called simply "Paducah/Cape Girardeau/Harrisburg".
 
They could've called it the "Jackson Purchase" edition, after the area of Kentucky, but that would disenfranchise the other states covered by this edition.

Then again, most of the "Northern Colorado"'s territory included huge swaths of Wyoming, Nebraska and South Dakota.

The Jackson Purchase also includes western Tennessee.

The TV Guide for the area in question refers to it as "the Paducah/Evansville edition," hence the name.

And I've recalled this before, but around 1987 or so I remember stopping with family at a gas station in Alexandria, MO--directly across from Keokuk, Iowa--and saw that the Western Illinois edition of TVG was still on sale at that station. (Alexandria and Keokuk are part of the Quincy/Hannibal DMA). Then again, the "Missouri edition" of TVG basically ignored parts of the state north of Columbia, including the entire Quincy-Hannibal market--and not even for KC or St. Louis indies. Same with the "Iowa edition" west of Des Moines--which from the looks of the '50s TVG listings for Iowa may have even been distributed in far northwestern Illinois at the time due to the inclusion of the Rockford stations. And I also wonder what edition Keokuk itself would have received (Iowa or Western Illinois)--as Lee County is the only Iowa county that's part of the Quincy DMA, whose stations were NEVER listed in the Iowa TVG edition.
