Hmm let's see...here's what I picked up over the years-
Remember, Akron is 35 miles south of cleveland

21 WFMJ-NBC Youngstown: Funny thing- i get 21 clearer on my over-the-dial TV then channel 3 in cleveland!
27 WKBN-CBS Youngstown: This is how I watch H2 on clear days...
7 WTOV-NBC Wheeling WV
4 WDIV-NBC Detroit

and one day...don't ask me how...but I got CBS 9 from somewhere in Michigan.

I'm about 10 miles northeast of Cleveland.  From here, I've gotten every channel out of Toledo (13, 24, 36, a few others whose numbers I don't recall); 2, 4, 7, and 50 out of Detroit; 23 in Akron (pre-PAX days, when it was WAKR, an ABC affiliate); and numerous channels out of Canada including CKCO-10 (CBC) out of London (which was also available by an old provider here in the late 80s), TV Ontario, Global, CTV, and a French-language CBC affiliate out of Toronto.

Making this game show-centric, I was able to see MG 90, Trivia Trap, and Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak out of Akron, TPiR at 4 PM Eastern from CKCO, and a slew of Canadian games including Talk About, Baloney!, and a few games "en francais".

I should hook up the ol' antenna and see what's out there now.  I haven't tried that in at least a decade.

 Not to sound flip, but you need a TV without cable (the small black and white I have for doing this isn't even hooked up to an outdoor antenna [at least, I don't THINK it is]).  Then you just start at Channel 2 and start flipping around the dial.  Whatever you get, you get.

Heh, what you guys are talking about is how we Canadians get any American stations at all! Most of the people in my area can pick up...

CHEX - CBC aff. - 12
???? - TVO aff. - 18
CIII - Global aff. - 27
???? - SRC aff. - 44
CFTO - CTV aff. - 54

If we fiddle around with the ol' rabbit-ears (or if you have a decent outdoor antenna), we can get CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, WB, and sometimes even PAX.

uncamark:
Back in my college days in the 70s when the only cable in dorm rooms was in the dorm lounges (and the DeKalb, Illinois cable system was just the Chicago and Rockford stations, public access, an NIU channel and a time-and-temperature channel), I used to pick up all sorts of stations, depending on what side of the building my dorm room was.  Got my only looks at the never-in-Chicago-or-Rockford Jack Narz "Concentration" and nighttime "Break the Bank" thanks to DXing, among other shows.
