Just amazing how crappy the Canadian television market was and remains.
Most all the offerings are from the U.S. and those Canadian offerings
are dismal, at best.....
 
Surprised that stations from Lorain were included. I suspect this is because the Windsor paper also served Leamington and Ahmerstburg which, being near or on Lake Erie could've picked these up. I wasn't aware that the Star was included in the Newspaper Archive (albeit only to 1986). Appreciate that knowledge as well as the listings southferretti!
