Boy...if you didn't have cable in Fairbanks in 1987, you would be missing out on A LOT!!!! There was NWA wrestling and Night Tracks on TBS; "Soul Train" and continuations of network comedies now in first-run syndie on WGN; and "Bandstand" and WWF on WOR!! My family couldn't afford it myself, so I had to watch cable at my Grandma's house after she moved from Los Angeles to Alaska in 1988.
