It's interesting that the Post included (at that time) WHSV, but not WVPT (the Staunton/Harrisonburg PBS outlet)--or, for that matter, the NBC affiliates in Charlottesville (WVIR) and Hagerstown (WHAG).

Maybe the Post had different editions for various parts of the circulation area? My copy also included a list of DC radio stations...

Er . . . WXTV was (and is) Channel 41, based out of Paterson, NJ. They were retransmitting that station on Channel 56 in the nation's capital?

Don't know the exact history, though that station was around to at least 1982, when WNVC (then WIAH) signed on channel 56. Don't know if SIN relocated to another channel, or if it's related to the low-powered Telefutura station WMDO-LD (which signed on in 1988 and carried Univision until 2005).
