Also not listed:WBNX Channel 55(Independent) Akron-Cleveland

Was the channel even mentioned in this edition of TVG? The Northern Ohio edition primarily served rural areas of Northern and Central Ohio outside of Cleveland, Akron, Columbus and Toledo -- maybe WBNX was not significantly-viewed in the circulation area.

Not at that time at least...only WQHS and WMFD were mentioned as not listed.
 
Interesting that WMFD wasnt listed-Considering the large area the Northern Ohio TV Guide covered-Cleveland to Steubenville/Zanesville to Columbus and Toledo..Mansfield is right in the middle of that area..Didnt stations "pay" to be included?..That may have been why WMFD wasnt included Or WQHS-But WQHS was HSN..I dont recall that HSN shows were ever listed in Cleveland area TV Guides..

I'm not sure of the rationale, but I don't think stations had to pay TVG to have their stations listed. In fact, up until the 1980s, the station ads in TVG were mostly paid for with barter, in exchange for showing TVG commercials on their station.

I don't know exactly why WMFD was not listed, but for WQHS, it was obvious, as much of its programs were home shopping.

I have also been surprised that WMFD never ran their listings in TV Guide, but at the same time, it's an independent station in a smaller city, and they primarily air local programming. And a lot of the syndicated programs they run are shows that one of the Cleveland or Columbus stations already run, as stations from both of those markets are viewable in the Mansfield area. I've always found WMFD's program schedule to be an interesting mix though, even though I've hardly ever watched that channel, as I don't live in an area where it is viewable on cable.
