We got our third channel in 1971, and when I left Alaska in 2008 that's still all we had.

There was a pay television deal that had one channel that played HBO movies where you had to have a little microwave dish on your roof and a down converter to change the signal into something your TV could understand. It was about $70 a month as I recall. That one started up in the mid 1970's.

The TV stations started broadcasting in color in 1967.
