Thanks for taking the time to post this, Capemill.

With regard to WVTV-18, I did some digging and the station joined The WB network in March 1997. Thus, at this point the channel had been an affiliate more than half a year. Prior to March 1997, Milwaukee viewers subscribing to cable were able to watch The WB on WGN's satellite feed. WGN Superstation (as it was called at the time) ceased carrying WB programming from the Chicago mothership in fall 1999.

Where are the listings for WMVS 10 (PBS), WVCY 30 (not that I really care about this station), WMVT 36 (PBS), and WPXE 55 (PAX)? Whenever I picked a Milwaukee Journal Sentinal, it had the listings for all Milwaukee area stations. But then again, I didn't visit Milwaukee during the 90's. The first time I visited Milwaukee was in September 2001.

3:00pm: MLB National League Championship Series, Game 2: Florida Marlins vs. Atlanta Braves

Ah, yes, the eventual world champion Florida Marlins.

Apparently, Andy Griffith was quite popular in Milwaukee - he aired on, not one, but two stations!

...not really THAT popular -- WVTV/18 and WCGV/24 were both operated by Sinclair by this time...

So some programs were shared by the two stations

...exactly. Kinda like KDFW/4 and KDFI/27 Dallas-Ft. Worth both running Perry Mason at different times in the early '00s (do they still?)...
