I don't think my parents would remember any of these, or even the
equivalent programs on channels 3, 8, and 30 (they grew up in central
Connecticut); 4, 7, and 9 (Washington); 3, 5, 6, 12, and 22 (I grew up
in northern Vermont); 2, 4, and 8 (Reno); or 5, 11, and 17 (Raleigh).
Like a large and growing number of Americans, they haven't stayed in
one market for more than half a dozen years since I got out of high
school.  That's particularly true here in market #6 (although I don't
have the time right now to look up the precise number in the census
statistics) since so many people come here from elsewhere to go to
college and then settle down.
