You mean to tell me that the Harrisburg/Lancaster DMA had THREE CBS stations in one market? They all must have had real puny signals back then!<P ID="signature">______________

That, plus terrain issues that prevented decent marketwide coverage of either station. Cable penetration and signal upgrades in the 1980s made this arrangement obsolete. Today, 15 is now UPN (though it may flip to CW this fall) and 43's now Fox (WPMT); with 21 still CBS.

That was the first SB I ever watched, and not necessarily on purpose. I was 8 1/2 years old and being babysat at my grandparents' in Chester, PA. One of my grandparents channelsurfed our way to channel 10 and we wound up watching SB IV. I don't think my grandparents, who were from Ukraine and knew little English, knew what was going on.

I dont know back in 1970 but in 1983 I was staying with friends who
were able to pick up WLYH 15 and WSBA 43 quite well. Both were still CBS then. However they could not pick up the other stations in the Harrisburg area such as WHP 21 and WHTM 27. WGAL 8 barely came in.

Where did they live? Clearbrook, VIRGINIA !! About 10 miles south of
the Virginia-West Virginia border along Insterstate 81.

BTW...for many many years WSBA's listings were in the Washington-Baltimore edition of TV Guide.
