"The Mother of All Television Listings"--back in the 1960s through the 1980s, the Louisville Courier-Journal's statewide edition carried listings not only for Louisville stations, but for every TV signal that entered the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Every single state (seven in all) that borders Kentucky had a station carried in the listings. Some 33 stations appeared daily on one page. At the time, that was probably a record for any U.S. newspaper, and certainly far more than ever appeared in any one edition of TV Guide.
Here is part four, containing listings for out-of-state stations serving southeastern Kentucky for Friday, August 9, 1974. All times are Eastern Daylight Saving.
