All of the others were blocked. It was the NBC affiliate, so my parents watched Huntley/Brinkley for news. And even after we moved and had choices, they still stuck with Huntley/Brinkley rather than the famous Walter Cronkite. They even stuck with the NBC affiliate's local news - Albany, NY - and Chris Jansing was the local anchor along with Ed Dague, a local progressive star.
