You got them. :lol: For the record, 2 - WCBS, 4 - WNBC, 5 - DuMont then Independent, 7 -- WABC, 9 -- WOR Independent, Broadcast the Brooklyn Dodger games, 11- WPIX, Independent Broadcast The Yankees and NY Giants games, 13 Independent, then PBS. For some reason, can't remember the original call letters for 5 and 13.

On a good day I could pull in channel 9 in Ct. but it was usually snowy. We watch a lot of 11 for sports.

While UHF began in the 50s, few TVs could access those channels. Our TV could not receive UHF so I never watched any of those stations until much later.
