Thanks for that info! I remember seeing them on the cable lineup of my
motel in the Burlington area, and they had ads in the local papers
(Seven Days, etc.)

By the way, WSBK/38 is currently billing themselves as "The U", as in "UPN-38:".
Will that change once that net is defunct? :)
Not the only station to bill themselves that way. Chicago's WCIU-TV 26
calls itself
"The U" (and runs syndie stuff, sports, etc.--and funny horror movie host
Svengoolie. BER-wyn! I had gotten some tapes of that show from a trader.)
