Beth,
Your powers of recall are frightening.
I grew up in Prov., so for me watching Channel 56 out of Boston was an exercise of playing with the special 'UHF antenna' (a ring-shaped device) until we got a relatively clear picture.
And in lousy weather, forget it.
These rotten kids of today and their cable TV, they don't know how easy they have it.
