Note: This likely had every cable system in the entire state of Wyoming! Also notice that most cable systems received either Denver or SLC stations on cable as most of the local Wyoming stations were shoehorning programs from multiple networks into their schedules.

I remember around the summer of 1984, we stayed in Thermopolis or Worland (probably Worland) at a motel while going from Yellowstone to the Black Hills. It was very annoying/frustrating flipping through channels at the motel and seeing so many duplicates of the broadcast networks. Especially since it was summer and there was nothing much on the networks that night. The cable system in my hometown of Dickinson, ND had eliminated any broadcast duplicates by 1980, so this seemed like a huge step down in variety.
 
So Casper got 20 channels on cable and Cheyenne only got 10 channels? And not even SuperstationWTBS. Same w/ Cody and Worland.
But what is even worse is the fact that KWWY-13 Rock Springs and KOWY-5 Lander, the latter of which had signed on the previous month, had NO cable carriage anywhere. Unbelievable!! I guess the notion was, if you wanted cable, you got 'more' than just VHF 13 or VHF 5. KWWY is now KGWR and KOWY is now KGWL, both simulcast KGWC TV14 Casper (CBS).
No way to get KPVI out to Jackson Hole? Ironically they had a relay at one point on channel 2, KJVI.
