"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 five, containing listings for stations serving south central Kentucky for Friday, August 9, 1974. All times are Central Daylight Saving.
