What TV stations did you have growing up?

We had seven channels living in New York City in the 1950s and 60s. CBS-2, NBC-4, WNEW-5, ABC-7, WOR-9, WPIX-11, and WNET-13.

BBC1 (1936) and ITA (1955, later called ITV). BBC2, which was on UHF, came in 1964 and required a new set and a different aerial. Channel 4 came in 1982.

@supersnipe Looking at the other responses we seem to have a better grasp of the numbering system in the UK.
