Fred, Cal and Winston form a partnership to sell the formula for Cal's moonshine. Redd Foxx, Dennis Burkley, Percy Rodrigues.

This was actually the short-lived 1980 revival, "Sanford" -- the "Son", Demond Wilson, did not take part.
 
I'm curious why Pittsburgh's WIIC/WPXI 11 is not listed?
I have personally tuned that in as far north as Meadville, PA back in the analog days.
 
Did Channel 8 really work around the Saturday morning lineup purposely so they could air the network Popeye as soon as the "Popeye Playhouse" on Channel 3 was done? :eek:

Maybe not significantly-viewed in the region?

In fact, KDKA was the only Pittsburgh station listed in this edition.

Of the Pittsburgh 6 KDKA and WPXI was viewable in most of the southern parts of the Youngstown market as you get toward Warren you have a harder time getting them, ch 4 forget about it as its transmitter was too south to be seen, WQED-13 was on many of the Youngstown cable system (still is) and in the eyes of PBS QED is considered a secondary PBS as a result of such cable carriage. WPGH was carried on certain systems in the Youngstown area (Struthers,New Castle) thanks to Youngstown not having a FOX station of its own and when Sinclair bought/began operating ch 22, the same systems that carried ch 53 also carried ch 22.

During the years of no FOX,WB,UPN most of Y-town got WOIO (Fox) later FOXNET or WJW, WUAB (WB/UPN), and either the wb plus 100 from Wheeling or WBNX from Cleveland but as Youngstown would add a Fox,WB/CW, and MY-NET the out of town stations were dropped even though in the city of Youngstown its self carries WOIO/WUAB and in Trumbul county WKYC,WEWS,WJW,WOIO and WUAB are carried on at least the armstrong system.

Youngstown never got on cable PCNC but from almost the beginning did get KBL sports and at one point some Youngstown state programming produced by WKBN-TV aired there.
