Thanks for that. I was in SoCal in 1960 and we still had black and white TV on our stations.

In Bakersfield, they started advertising cable about ‘85, as I remember.

Cable TV was in Clayton NM in 1960, Farmington NM in 1973, and began to be adveritzed in Tulsa, Ok in 1976.

I believe cable was stalled for years by various lawsuits from local TV station advertizers who didn’t want competition from Tv stations hundreds of miles away.
