It was mainly about improving Amercian TV reception in those early days, but it's easy to forget about the importation of FM signals from the States. The article below is from Nov. 1976, and shows which stations cable companies wanted to bring to their customers. 

Do any of them still do this?

(By the way, I recognize all of them except WREZ Buffalo. I thought I knew all the Queen City stations back then, but I'm not familiar with those call letters. Could that be a typo or did such a station exist?)

WREZ was the call letters for the present day WNED-FM 94.5 from 1973-1975. It was co-owned at the time with the old WEBR AM. In 1975 Western New York Educational TV Association bought it and it became a classical music station.

A station in Jamestown,NY once affiliated with CTV. Read about it here in the history section about WNYP-TV:
"CTV invades America"

About 1965 My parents got an AM radio for Christmas shaped like a world globe. One night my Dad put it up on the mantle above the fireplace and turned it on. I couldn't believe my ears what came out of the radio. 'This is WWL New Orleans" in Niagara Falls! After that night I kept trying to receive it again. I picked up other distant stations along the way. ( This was before digital readout on radios.) I caught the DX bug. My father eventually got me Whites Radio Log in Communications World and I was able to log it again and found other DXing opportunities.
 

I recently saw the current "Guess Who". They were terrible. I also saw Burton Cummings solo. He did some of the old Guess Who songs. He was excellent. It sounded like the old Guess Who.

They will probably have inexpensive USB dongles with 3.0 tuners like a Roku that you can plug into your non 3.0 TV to get 3.0. It's all digital. By then practically all TVs will be smart TVs. I think that they will probably extend the deadline. They said AM radio is going away. It's still here. I have a 3.0 tuner. The picture and sound are better than 1.0 and the signal is more stable. The only problem is the encryption on some stations. The reason why North America went digital for TV was because the cellular companies wanted more frequencies and analogue was hogging up the bandwidth. Digital requires less bandwidth.

Jimmy usually takes Friday nights off and a repeat episode airs.

No I never had trouble with WBNF. I am far enough north of Grand Island that I don't receive it plus the WBNF  signal is very directional away from Canada. I am right on the border plus I am using an antenna pointed towards Toronto-Hamilton. The only Toronto area channel I don't get is CFTO.
 

EAS Test on WBEN

In Buffalo, WGRZ 2 and WKBW 7 3.0 have DRM

Spectrum cable thinking of dropping it's TV service. I dropped Spectrum TV last year and I am using YouTubeTV for my TV service here in WNY. I retained Spectrum internet.

Good 1080p is almost as good as 4K. 4K is better if the program has HDR. I get ATSC 3.0 from Buffalo none of the channels have 4K. From what I have read there is no 4K over the air broadcasts in the US. Not enough bandwidth with the subchannels they are carrying. With Buffalo 2 1080i channels and 3 720p channels. Maybe 4K in the future if the FCC allows ATSC 1.0 stations to convert to 3.0 which would free up bandwidth since some of the subchannels would go back to their old 1.0 frequencies.

Former WTSS transitioned today to WBWA K-Love religious

WBAP and WFAA Dallas used to switch frequencies day and night 570 and 820 KHz in the 50s and 60s. 820 KHz was a clear channel in those days.      

Same programming as 1.0. Slightly better picture better colour more stable. The transmitter is in Grand Island NY from what I understand it is directional away from Canada. It is still in a testing phase.
