The next market is the Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo-Battle Creek market. This market was (and is) unusual for having two separate ABC affiliates. WZZM's stick is near Fremont (which allowed it to serve the southern portion of the Traverse City-Cadillac market as well) while WOTV's is near Hastings. Missing is WTLJ (54) and WLLA (64), both religious independents then and now.

Last, but not least, is Marquette, which was still basically a submarket of Green Bay at this time. Notice that both commercial stations aired Wheel and Jeopardy! (and Oprah) at the same times! NBC programming was received on cable via WLUK from Green Bay, while WWTV/WWUP (CBS) and/or WBAY (ABC) were also seen in some areas.
