were 6 and 13 out of Marquette. 6 was juggling shows from all four networks as I recall.

...WLUC was CBS Primary and NBC/Fox secondary at this point. WLUC stopped airing NBC when WJMN/3 Escanaba signed on in 1969; when WJMN dropped NBC for ABC in 1983, WLUC dropped its ABC programming and picked up some NBC...

EJM said:
Also, this set of listings reminded me that this particular edition of TV Guide was way behind the curve regarding WAOW, WKOW, and WXOW (along with Eau Claire's WQOW) splitting up their programming by the mid-'80s. The listings here should reflect WAOW only.

TVG only listed ch 9 in the edition, listing Eau Claire and Madison as relays of ch 9.

After I posted the earlier reply, I triple-checked it again...the overnight programs were listed, but as Commercial Programs (aka infomercials). Were many stations still running Dr. Gene at that point?

Exactly. By this time, WAOW (Wausau), WKOW (Madison), and WXOW (La Crosse)/WQOW (Eau Claire) had split their programming; however, I remember that this edition of TV Guide (incorrectly) kept the relay reference in for quite some time.

There really wouldn't have been much need for this edition to have listings for WKOW or WXOW/WQOW, since neither (especially WKOW) would've been a "Northern Wisconsin" station. WISC is the only Madison station included as it was Madison's only VHF station and (IIRC) was carried further north on cable than the market's other stations.

The La Crosse/Eau Claire market is (understandably) also not listed in full; WLAX had been on the air for at least a few years, although its Chippewa Valley satellite station (WEUX) hadn't signed on yet.

Is Minnesota State the home edition for La Crosse/Eau Claire? I seem to remember that most, if not all, of that market's stations are in that edition...
