:::The station went on the air on 24 March 1980. SelecTV service started in late June of that year. Initially, SelecTV was on between 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. weekdays, 2:30-4:00 p.m. on Saturdays, 2:00-4:00 p.m. on Sundays and between 7:00 p.m.-1:00 a.m. nightly. Perhaps you saw the afternoon showings. You might also be confusing SelcTV, which was a scrambled over-the-air pay TV service with TVQ, which broadacst 24/7, but required subscribers to purchase a small dish and decoding box to get HBO. It was a competitor in the market. Both disappeared once cable penetration became high. [[User:Nitelinger|Nitelinger]] ([[User talk:Nitelinger|talk]]) 03:49, 3 December 2008 (UTC) |

Early programming off
When WCGV first started, it actually did SelecTV 24/7. It was later that it switched to regular programming during the day and SelecTV at night. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 06:49, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
