Emergency Squad was billed on screen as Emergency Plus 4, a cartoon version of the NBC prime time procedural Emergency!.
 
Sometimes newspapers get titles jumbled. When Help!...It's the Hair Bear Bunch! debuted in 1971, several newspapers listed it as "Here Come the Bears" (after lyrics in the theme's refrain).
 
Odd that there's no CTV outlet listed. And what about CICO-TV-20 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario? That's the rebroadcaster of TVOntario, the public non-commercial broadcaster, similar to PBS. No interest in running that on U.S. cable systems? (It has since been shut down when Canada switched from analog to digital.) I'm sure folks with just rabbit ear antennas and without cable could get CTV and TVO over the air, just like CBC. So why not list those stations too?

And if the local cable system in Northern Michigan is importing Independent Channel 50 WKBD from Detroit, why not also import PBS Channel 56 WTVS from Detroit?

Sault Ontario didn't have a CTV outlet until 1977, while TVO in 1973 just had one OTA transmitter (the flagship in Toronto)
