Interesting that only 3 in Columbus and 11 in Savannah were showing "Soul Train" at this time. The show had gotten rotten and was just about toast by 1995. Channel 11 had even moved it to midnight.
Had this been about 1980, probably 5 stations would have been on board.

Did any UHF stations in the South Georgia region show "Soul Train"? Bpatrick so far listed only the VHFs from this edition, due to its size.
 
I've just put up the UHFs, but Ch. 31 in Albany, Ch. 46
in Atlanta, and Ch. 49 in Bainbridge/Tallahassee ran
"Soul Train"; also Ch. 24 in Macon.
 
I remember the first time I saw this edition of TV Guide. I thought I was going to get a migraine trying to figure out the different 11's, 17's, etc.
 
Ok, I did not notice the UHF stations were not up.

TV Guide seemed to have some odd city combinations......and changed them often. But the old guides were 10X better than the current one. I think they just became too costly to produce......and maybe too big. 250 pages seems a lot. New York City must have had a 350 page guide. As much as I enjoyed the old ones................ they'd probably cost $4.99 or more in today's world.

We had a decent guide in the newspaper, but even that went away. Then they tried to sell them for about $1.99.......I don't think so. Now the whole week is on about 6 pages. I wish the local guide would list the local sub channels, then I might use it.

Soul Train, by this particular time frame, really lost its luster...factor in Don Cornelius' retirement as host two years earlier (he still worked behind the scenes running the show and all other things Soul Train), the growth of channels like BET, MTV, VH1 (back when the latter two still showed plenty of music videos), and the introduction of the Video Jukebox (AKA The Box), the show became less relevant especially when the artists prominently featured on Soul Train through the years now had other avenues to feature their work.

This is around the same time period that Soul Train were using special guest hosts before they settled on permanent hosts (three in the show's final nine years of original episodes).
