How come the Kentucky edition didn't carry the listings of the Cincinnati area PBS affiliate WCET Channel 48? It would seem kind of curious, since the Kentucky edition carred the listings for 5, 9, 12 and 19. So why no listings for 48?

Maybe because it was not significantly-viewed outside the metro Cincinnati area. As far as I know, the Kentucky TVG never listed WCET, though they added WSTR ch.64 to the line-up after The WB started up in 1995.

Another reason is the presence of KET's translator WCVN, across the river in Covington, Kentucky, which served the so-called "Northern Kentucky" region. WCET's primary emphasis was almost certainly southwestern Ohio. Here is yet another case of duplicate PBS service across state lines; there are numerous other examples throughout the U.S.

The North Alabama TVG, during the years it listed the Nashville network affils, also omitted WDCN (now WNPT), for the same reasons: Alabama Public Television's Huntsville and Florence signals carried into the southern edge of Middle Tennessee, bringing public TV to areas that WDCN's signal didn't reach. Conversely, the Nashville stations were only listed in the North Alabama edition because cable systems in places like Huntsville, Decatur, and Athens filled in their empty slots (in the 2-13 era) with Nashville stations. Because APT and WDCN mostly ran the same programs, cable operators felt no need to "waste" one of their channels for a station few if any people would watch.

One of the threads some time ago established the fact that TVG did not carry a station in the listings unless it could be viewed by 15 percent or so of an edition's territory. Unlike the Cincinnati network affils, WCET was on UHF and almost certainly had nowhere near the power of WLWT, WCPO, and WKRC, to penetrate far into Kentucky. Put those facts together and you have your answer.
