What are some places that regularly and clearly get the big three networks from two cities. For example when I lived in Maryland you could get ABC, NBC, CBS from both Baltimore and Maryland.
Also when I lived in Florida you could get the networks from West Palm and Miami.
It looks like Providence and Boston are close enuff for this. However when I was in Zion I got Chicago OK but couldn’t get Milwaukee. Same as in Mich City In. I got Chicago TV but not South Bend.
What I am looking for are places where you get all the networks clearly and regularly. Not like if say Akron used to have an ABC affiliate and just that. Or Sarasota had an ABC you could get in Tampa but just that.
(I realize with the recent network shakeup those above example aren’t valid anymore – I think but you get the idea)
For quite some time Honolulu had 2 … I think it was NBC. The main one KHNL and then a ‘sister’ station KFVE. KFVE would show KHNL news casts. But then along came UPN and bought the littler one KFVE.
In Buffalo, television reception was generally rotten. The local stations came in just fine, but forget about the Rochester affiliates from just 60 miles away. Toronto’s VHF stations were snowy, and UHF stations were more or less unviewable.
Drive 20 miles west, though, to the north shore of Lake Erie, and … wow! All the stations from Buffalo, Erie, Toronto, Hamilton, London, Kitchener – crystal clear, with a pair of rabbit ears. Incredible. Thus, in Port Colborne, Ontario, you can recieve double sets of both U.S. and Canadian network television affiliates.
Las Cruces, New Mexico, residents were disappointed because the tanslators of Albuquerque stations were everywhere in the state except south central New Mexico. Instead, Cruces television viewers had to put up with El Paso channels – and their gung-ho “Texas is the center of the universe” slant. Supposedly, the El Paso affiliates put the screws on the cable system in Las Cruces to eliminate their Albuquerque station lineup.
