Pretty good lineup, as the new fall season was already underway in Fairbanks...two weeks late, of course (not to mention Alaska now in one single time zone).
 
Way down the coast and the mainland from Fairbanks, but Sitka AK had several cable networks available in 1983. USA, Nickelodeon, SPN, a few others. They were able to get KTNL over the air for CBS but also had NBC on cable under fictional calls "KSA". That went off around the early-mid '80s and was replaced by CANCOM Detroit TV (WDIV, WXYZ). Yep! The Cosby Show at 4PM in the Alaska panhandle! And with Johnny Carson at 7:30, who needed to stay up late? Also by that time, WOR was fed onto cable TV for even more entertainment.

I believe you made a mistake with As the World Turns - it would have been on KTVF. I'm guessing All My Children was live with east coast, but General Hospital was delayed (no OLTL at 10AM).
