Right, that was a typo.

Actually, I think the order of things is different.  WMGT moved to 
channel 19 while it was still WMGT.  Then a storm destroyed the 
tower, forcing the station off the air for a time. Then, channel 29 
in Hagaman came on, and the WROW-TV call letters became WCDA, so that 
it was WCDA on 41 and WCDB on 29.  Finally, channel 19 on Mt. 
Greylock returned to the air as WCDC.

And that was where things stood when my family moved from Albany, 50 
years ago this weekend.
