What, no WDCA/WETA? I'm sure Winchester cable had them by then, not to mention the big 3 from Baltimore. I guess the Winchester paper's listing was a little scimpy.

At the time of these listings WETA and the Shenandoah Valley's WVPT shared cable channel 12 though more often than not it was WVPT who was seen the most on that channel, not so much WETA. Actually it wouldn't be until 1983 when WETA finally had their own full-time channel on the local cable and then it was only due to a request by the local school boards to have another PBS station available other than just WVPT. Still nonetheless the Star didn't provide listings for either station until many years later.

WDCA was indeed available on the cable at the time of thse listings as was Baltimore's WMAR,WBAL,WJZ and WBFF but the paper was, as you say "scimpy" in their TV listings so as a result the Star didn't provide listings for those channels either.
 
I am curious as to what the ABC network aired on this night, as it appears both affiliates resorted to airing different half-hour shows in the 8 PM hour prior to the ACC basketball game. I would imagine whatever was scheduled to air on ABC that night was quite long.
 
ABC's Wednesday-night lineup at the time:

8 PM Paul Lynde
8:30 Wednesday Movie Of The Week (don't
know what it was that particular evening)
10 PM Owen Marshall, Counselor At Law
