Would love to see Saturday and Sunday schedules as well...Also WHFT 45 was missing...I think I know why - this was not strictly Miami and WHFT was not widely carried outside the Miami Market so that is why it was not included in your listings. Still surprised to see Channel 51 included though.
 
Also missing Channel 7 WSVN - I would think if TV 51 was included WSVN would be. I could see excluding WHFT but Channel 7 was likely widely carried as well. I believe they had a different set of call letters though but they had the same owners as they have today.

7 (at the time WCKT) and 45 were not included as no cable system carried them in the News-Press' circulation area. 51 was, as it was seen within the News-Press area, at least late at night (when it replaced WCIX on some systems after they signed off).
 
I would say WCKT was not carried, due to being NBC as WBBH---but WFLA was there, so that theory is out. (Wonder how WBBH felt, as WINK with WTVJ there.)

Note----NHL Hockey on WPBT 2! This was actually a syndicated weekly Monday night game, like the Canadian Football games in the 70s. No commercial station in Miami wanted it, so..... (I still think that is quite a departure for WPBT. During intermissions as I recall, there was a pledge drive ("You wanna see more of this NHL, right? Get on your phone...." :) )

I actually saw a night-school classmate of mine manning one of those phones.

Just as unusual is them carrying "Mary Hartman", while still in first run -- apparently, no one in Miami wanted that, either.
 
Do you have any listings from Local TV guides from Southern Florida or Tampa-Sarasota or Fort Myers News-Press from the time range of October 1995 - July 1999?

You are correct, sir. MH, MH always slips by my mind....
