Some more notes: Even though NTV carried 90210, Newfoundland cable viewers did not get the FOX network until late 1994. Anyone want to elaborate on how a FOX series wiggled onto a cable system that did not have the FOX network yet? And YTV did not air as much Animé then (I can't remember any Animé series airing in the early '90s except for Samurai Pizza Cats) as they do now.

Did any other Canadian network (like Global or CTV) air 90210? Did NTV also air other popular Fox series, like Simpsons or Married with Children? Even though Fox isn't available, the availability of Fox isn't a requirement to carry any of their shows, especially shows that Fox didn't produce in the first place.

If anything, not having Fox was the reason NTV aired 90210. It was a popular show, why not air it?

The Maritimes got 90210, Married with Children and the Simpsons (just off the top of my head) before Fox came here.
