Wow, that's interesting they actually listed the episode numbers for Sesame Street and The Electric Company. I'm assuming that the 1:30 airing was episode 295, and that the first two Electric Company episodes were 31 and 32, and that the last one was 35.
 
The last time I was in the U.P. I could only get two channels with a roof aerial.
(not recently, but long after 1971). One station from Marquette was juggling 3 networks, the other was PBS.

...as I recall, there was a stretch in the mid-'90s when WLUC/6 Marquette was juggling CBS, NBC and Fox...
