Just imagine a golf tournament only having one hour of coverage today. Many tournaments had less than 2 hours of coverage until Tiger Woods came along. Some tournaments such as the Quad City Open were not televised because it was opposite the British Open or Ryder Cup.

The days when the girls played 6 on 6 in Iowa ended in 1992. It was very popular in Iowa.
 
I lived in Quincy briefly from 1985-1986. We got St. Louis network affiliates on cable (though network programming on the CBS and NBC affiliats was replaced with that from the Quincy stations). We didn't have one TV guide edition that listed all the channels we got, we could pick up the Western Illinois edition or drive accross the Mississippi and grab an edition that listed the St. Louis stations (I don't remember if it was the actual St. Louis edition). The STL TV and FM stations were microwaved to the cable headend. One thing I remember from out there..on the Quincy stations and KTVO out of Ottumwa, IA (which somewhat served as Hannibal/Quincy's ABC)was all the commercials for radio stations spread out far and wide that I saw...from Kirksville, MO to Carthage, IL and everywhere in between. <P ID="signature">______________
