First Radio Parish? Do they worship radio there?

CHSJ 4-CBC Saint John
1:30 Focus North (regional program for North Shore/Miramichi viewers)

An earlier schedule I saw showed North Shore/Miramichi getting a split-fed signal for local programming while Saint John/Moncton got network programming.

6:30 Don Cherry's Grapevine (guest Wendel Clark, who was with the Make-Beleafs at the time)

I would also have accepted Make-Me-Laffs.

IIRC ATV was showing at weekdays at 12:30 at one point...ATV's midday news used to air at 1pm (hence the News 1 title, long before CTV ever got their hands on it ;D) and they usually aired cartoons in the noon to 1 hour.

http://www.dailydevotions.org/info.php?site_section_id=23&info_id=83 gives the history, it started out on radio way back in 1926 in Portland, starting TV in the 50s. They still air to this day on both WLBZ and sister WCSH Portland, as well as airing programs on AFRTS, Odyssey Networks, and 3 Maine radio stations, as well as having a Facebook page.

Maritime papers used to carry the listings with the Southern NB show listed at, say, 2:00 with a subsequent listing at 2:01 of the Northern show marked as "North Shore/Miramichi viewers only". In its last years before the takeover, CHSJ eventually ran the Northern shows provincewide. And even sister MITV, which would sign on in September '88, got into the act with North Shore Magazine (another North Shore/Miramichi-targeted show) airing across NB on Sunday mornings.

Now that area is lucky to get a passing mention on Live at 5 over on ATV.

That's nothing...Amherst is only an hour from Moncton, but whenever ATV sends a reporter down here, they send him from New Glasgow, 90 min in the other direction :D
