The Rest will Come Later
 
I remember being in Harlan in 1964 and was amazed that stations from Lexington were available along with those in Knoxville and Bristol, etc. via its cable service there. As such, I was able to see the Reds' game via the Lexington station as it was on the Reds TV network.

A person I knew from that area also told me that the cable service had FM radio capabilities that enabled you to receive distant stations on the FM frequences although I never herard that.
 
I remember, before WKPT signed on, WLOS was the de facto
ABC affiliate for that area, in fact, for most of southeastern
Kentucky. Interesting that 18 years after WKPT signed on,
WLOS was still on cable there.

Has WYMT been added?

I'm surprised WYMT wasn't on Harlan cable. Then again they had three NBC signals already. WSAZ was odd to see but that might have been a leftover of the early days when WSAZ was the first TV signal in the area. WLOS had a following since it was more reliable compared to WKPT and WTVK when they were ABC.
