Source: TV Guide. A rare find indeed, these don't turn up often on eBay. 23 over-the-air stations + WGN (and obviously other cable channels). A doozy for the editors! The lady who had this TV Guide lived in Gulfport. Amazing that this magazine survived the wrath that was Katrina, some 13 1/2 years ago.
