This was the Greek version of "100 Huntley Street"; don't know the host, but it wasn't David Mainse, as it was a different production, rather than a dubbed broadcast. Don't know how many stations carried this version, but at least one other did -- WCLF in Tampa Bay carried the show, along with "100 Huntley Street", during this period.

Didn't even know that Citytv and TVO carried special services for cable viewers, especially in the days before CP24 and LCF / TFO. Was their programming always this limited, and did they share with other channels?

I think, in the case of TVO2, at least, the weekday line-up was a bit more extensive.

My guess is that these services ceased to exist once enough consumers had VCRs, and cable companies needed to make room for specialty channels.
