Most mid-markets, like Baton Rouge with 150k in the region, had 2 channels: NBC and CBS and they split The popular ABC shows between them.

In the early 70's we had an antenna that could pick up New Orleans from Baton Rouge, but not great. We'd get a ladder and climb up on the roof to manually rotate it to get a better image, while yelling down to someone in the living room through an open door. After a year of that nonsense we bought an electronic gizmo that would rotate the antenna remotely. But you still had to change the channel manually on a dial.
