Okay, so about the same time as it came to NYC.

I wonder if they shared shows via kinescope, as was done in the late '40 and early '50s, for the networks. Did you watch it back then?

No,we couldn’t afford a TV until the mid fifties.

I always enjoyed public TV but rarely watched ANY TV in the 70s and 80s. When my granddaughter was born in the early 90s I started putting on the kids’ shows for her in the AM and was STUNNED to find that they had advertisements geared to children. Brief ads,but ads nonetheless.

That was it for me——I rarely watch it now.
