Interesting how Columbus stations: Channel 6 & 10 are listed there, but not Columbus Channel 4, WCMH (formerly WLW-C). I assume that's because of there being WOAY, the Beckly-Bluefield station on that channel. I have to think that with the right equipment, WCMH could be picked up in that area as well.

I have read elsewhere WSAZ is competitive in Parkersburg via cable television, channel 3 has a WIS Columbia, SC status over eastern West Virginia. Thanks to the wikipedia I have learned Parkersburg was suppose to be part of a market that included Weston and Clarksburg. WTAP was the weak link with its small UHF signal so the market never materialized.

Did that edition not have PBS stations, or did you just not feel like listing them?

I did not feel like listing them because there were four of them, and it took me
more than two hours to type out this schedule as it is.

Channel 4 in Columbus is short-spaced with 4's in Detroit, Pittsburgh, etc. My guess is that they do not come in as far
away as the Ohio River? (I have heard that only WBNS and WOSU came in way down there)
