Retro TV Guide skeds we'd like to see

[alg2468]

Does anyone have TV Listings from December of 1984 in the Providence Boston area at all?? Or not sure if anyone had old newspapers that show the listings before 1984 or not back then Channel 64 call letters were WSTG they called it The Great Entertainer before they became Fox 64 when it went to WNAC I think in 1986 or 1987. But I thought 64 came on the air back in 1981 or 1982 for a few hours a day but the regular TV Guide didnt add them until December of 84. I vaguely remember I think they played The 3 Stooges cartoon old movies like A Star is Born,Wally Gator Lippy the Lion etc. I want to say when they first came on the air they air maybe 4 or 5 hours of programming in the mid to late afternoon to 8 or 9PM. I remember switching through the channels thats on how I found it one day. If anyone has any listings of this I will be very happy to found out what they showed at the time. I have a few editions in 1985 I got on ebay that was the Worcester or Providence Editions but alot of them are from NY or LA that they sell on ebay be nice to see more Rhode Island or Massachusetts Editions. I try google searches but no luck I remembered calling 64 a few years ago and asked if they kept a record of all the shows that they aired over the years and they said no. I was surprised by this I would think they would be log somewhere to have for the channels history but I guess not.

Yes, I remember when they went on the air in 1981. For a few years in the afternoon they also showed some older religious themed movies. The signal was pretty powerful; at that time I was living about 5 miles north of Boston and received the station over the air with only rabbit ear antennas and it gave a decent signal comparable with Providence's channels 10 and 12. The station was transmitting from Rehoboth, MA (where it still is) with 5 million watts.

I did a Wikipedia search it was in the fall of 1982 that they still on the air for the 19 hours a day. Just surprised that TV Guide didn't add them until the end of 1984 or 1985. I missed these days to much news on during the day in my opinion and to many talk shows etc. So much better when news was just a hour or so in the evening same in the morning too. I know it's a different time then it was a few decades ago.
