Used to get TV reception from Windsor, Ontario (CKLW-TV channel 9, now CBET) and CFPL-TV channel 10 in London, Ontario before I got cable. The cable system here, which has changed hands several times since my area got cable in 1982, did pick up CFPL briefly, but the channel was dropped from the system's lineup after about a year or so.

Sadly, I'm about 20 years too late for that. Electroking might be able to better answer your questions; he's a fellow VKer from Montreal.
Long story short, I found the console in our barn in a storage room and decided to restore it for kicks (I have a thing for old electronics). There's still the odd AM station (country, and talk/news)where I live, but sadly, not much on nowadays. I keep it wired to an external FM tuner via the turntable input jacks (line level, ceramic cart) and listen that way.
