[mjlarochelle]

September 13, 1969 marked an affiliation switch in Regina, Saskatchewan. The CBC affiliate, CKCK/2 became the CTV affiliate while CHRE/9 became a CBC O&O as CBKRT (today CBKT). Here is the schedule for the final day of CKCK as a CBC affiliate and CHRE as a CTV affiliate, and then the first day CKCK was a CTV affiliate and CBKRT was a CBC affiliate. CBKRT did not sign on until 1 PM on its first day as a CBC O&O.

Just out of curiosity, did the LP just carry the Regina/Moose Jaw stations at that time, or as in later years, did they also list Yorkton and Swift Current?

They carried Yorkton, Swift Current, and Medicine Hat, as well as three stations out of Minot.

On that note, some papers back then covered enormous areas for TV listings. The Toronto Star in the late 1950s, for example, carried just about every station in Ontario except for Thunder Bay, plus Detroit, Cleveland, Erie, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Watertown. That added up to about 28 stations.

They weren't the only TO paper that did that...so did the Globe & Mail. Their listings were unusual...Toronto/Buffalo/Hamilton stations were listed together, followed by out-of-town stations in alphabetical order of city (and numerical order if there's more than one channel in a city).
