Kind of odd that KYW and WCAU were included but not WPVI or any of the Lehigh Valley stations (such as WLVT and WFMZ, which (I think) both get cable carriage in Hazleton, which is in the same county as Wilkes-Barre)

Click to expand...

I think WPVI wasn't included because of WNEP's dominance in the region.

They didn't even include WYLN-LP 35 (which was based in Hazleton, PA), which served as the WB affiliate for the Scranton/Wilkes Barre market at the time before becoming an America One affiliate 7 months later (after losing it's WB affiliation to WSWB-TV 38 (occupying the channel formerly held by WOLF-TV whose affiliation (Fox) and call letters moved to Ch. 56)). Despite the fact that it was low-powered (hence the call letters).

Odd that KYW, a CBS O&O, didn't have a 5 pm newscast then. I believe they added one in 1999.

KYW was a disaster for quite a while. Still suffering to a degree.
