The St. Petersburg Times TV listings had adapted to widespread coverage, with the Tampa/St. Pete channels on a separate page. They also used the channel bullets and an abbreviation of the city of broadcast. I have efforted to translate those channels into their calls and cities.

Why it was infamous?

Suncoast Digest was hosted by Christine Chubbuck, who shot herself to death live on air not 6 months after this day's schedule.

Now the Times doesn’t even bother to print any TV listings; the Times (like many other newspapers) at an extra charge will include a TV magazine that supposedly is geared to the local market, but it’s useless if you want the listings of any of the subchannels (Me TV, Antenna TV, MOVIES!, LAFF, My TV etc) ; perhaps they aren’t aware of cable cutters who are watching tv OTA.

I forget which Tampa Bay newspaper it was (it have been the Tampa Tribune), but one of them used to include each station's numerical logo in the TV grid. I thought that was cool.
