I always thought it was pretty interesting that Staunton cable would carry all four of the Washington VHF stations (4/5/7/9). At one time they also carried WMAR from Baltimore. Evidently channel 2 carried all the way to higher elevations in that area --- low-VHF could display some quite impressive propagation characteristics in analog days --- and cable viewers were extremely forgiving of what would have had to be a very snowy signal.
