Corrected previous posting of same (cut-and-paste errors in that). Mods may delete previous thread of this title if they choose.

I guess 1977 was too early for ACN that sort of acted as a third TV network for the Maritimes, including a morning show and newscasts during the day, and a mix of U.S. and Canadian shows the rest of the day and evening.

The CBC would shift its schedule for Atlantic time so the late news didn't have to wait till Midnight, as it did on CTV. However, here a hockey game was scheduled for prime time in the East, so on this Saturday night, CBC News did have to wait till Midnight. And local news and Provincial Affairs had to wait till 12:20.

I also notice no Newfoundland stations listed. Maybe TV Guide wasn't distributed in Newfoundland in those days, only in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI?

And of course, Channel 5 Bangor is not listed. I suppose Channel 8 Presque Isle followed CBS's schedule so closely, cable systems in the Maritimes didn't need to pick up Bangor's CBS affiliate. Only sometimes did/does WAGM carry an NBC or ABC show, even though it's an affiliate of all three networks.

TVG never had an edition for Newfoundland, nor did the Maritimes edition include any Newfoundland channels.

The last few years, WAGM was strictly a CBS affiliate, though it does offer Fox on a digital subchannel.

TVG never had an edition for Newfoundland, nor did the Maritimes edition include any Newfoundland channels.

There was a brief attempt to list Nfld channels in the Maritimes edition in the late 70s, but it fell apart as NTV's owner, who also ran the competing Newfoundland Herald, refused to supply NTV's listings to TVG. Subscribers got the Maritimes edition after that- I have a 1987 Maritimes edition in my collection with a mailing label for a subscriber in Spaniard's Bay, Nfld. A lot of the cable channels were in common in both Nfld and the Maritimes- WLBZ and WVII were microwaved in via Sydney in cable's early days in Nfld.

Yet Geoff Stirling, the owner of NTV and the Herald (in 1977 and today), had no qualms today supplying Tribune Media with the NTV listings for Zap2It, while continuing to publish listings in the Herald.
