First, if i'm not mistaken I think the date of this listing might be December 11th 1976 and not September 11th 1976; i'm pretty sure that the Division 2 title game wouldn't be in September ;D

Second, oddly enough both of these teams could concievably meet today in the regular season; Montana State is in the 1-AA Big Sky Conference, while Akron is in the 1-A Mid American Conference.

Yeah, and Frosty the Snowman in September? This is obviously a December listing.

Oops ::)...that should read December 11th, not September 11th. When I proofread it, didn't realize I bunged up the date :D

I remember this -- one more way in which Tacoma got labelled as the "rednecked" town in the Puget Sound area by folks up in Seattle...

The back story is that wrestling had ran on this station when it was a commercial operation, until it went bankrupt in December 1974. When the station was bought by the Clover Park School District, they decided to keep wrestling on to see if it would attract some viewers who wouldn't otherwise tune in to public TV. The hope was that some of those viewers could be encouraged to try some of the other programming on the station.

I guess it didn't work out, since the wrestling broadcasts disappeared after a year or so.
 
It was interesting to see the listing for KSTW. In Vancouver, we didn't get KSTW on our cable listings until 1978. That was when my family got our first converter box and "remote" control. It was another box with clunky push buttons on a wire, with a slide button for the channels above 13! With the converter we were able to see an extra 12 channels including KSTW. We didn't get KCPQ until September 16, 1981.

I notice that there was no listing for CKVU 26, which came to the air on September 05, 1976. I guess it wasn't on cable in the Seattle area?

Wasn't CKVU on channel 21? Channel 26, as I recall, was the CBC French service.

Listing for CKVU did appear in the Western Washington edition of TV Guide, but I can't remember exactly when that station was added to the listings. But I don't think it was much after the date of these listings that it did get listed. But so far as I'm aware, cable systems in Seattle and Tacoma did not carry CKVU. I'm guessing that the listings were for the benefit of viewers in the northwestern corner of the state, where (presumably) it could be received OTA and would likely be carried on cable as well.

Yes, that's why we never could get channel 22 very clearly, although the signal did come through occasionally, once CKVU moved of 21. I was able to see channel 20 on very very hot days, and watched Bob Larson, but why would you want to be indoors on a hot day. I used to dream about getting those obscure UHF channels - now it's for naught -
