hmm.....why is WTRF-7 in Wheeling listed (whose transmitter I believe is actually located on the Ohio
side of the river), but not WTOV-9 in Steubenville, OH, from where one can literally throw a rock into
West Virginia?

West Virginia?

WTRF (as well as WBOY and all the Ohio stations) was listed with the "cable" bullet ((|7|) in WTRF's case), so they must have been cablecast in some areas covered by the edition (IIRC Wheeling's home edition was Pittsburgh Metro?).
 
Eventually the cable bullet was dropped for WBOY, and WTRF
was taken out of that edition; it could be found in the Pittsburgh
and Wheeling/Steubenville editions, and maybe one or two others
(I'm thinking Youngstown/Erie). WTOV, AFAIK, was never listed in
the West Virginia edition.

Also, IIRC, it wasn't long after this that WTRF switched affiliation
to CBS, with WTOV getting NBC (early '80, I believe).

It may be interesting to note the changes that took place in that
edition over the years:

CHARLESTON/HUNTINGTON

WCHS: CBS to ABC
WVAH: Fox, started on Ch. 23, moved to Ch. 11
WOWK: ABC to CBS

BLUEFIELD/BECKLEY/OAK HILL

WVNS: Ch. 59, moved from Fox to CBS

WESTON/CLARKSBURG

WBOY eventually went back to being an NBC primary

COLUMBUS

WTVN is now WSYX

HAZARD

WKYH became WYMT and a CBS affiliate
