   Umm, hate to burst your bubble, but KTMA was NOT a cable access channel. The   
   letters UHF mean Ultra-High Frequency (Channels 13 and above), which is the   
   wavelength that this BROADCAST TV CHANNEL broadcasted on through an antenna.   
   Therefore not on cable. It was just a cheapo station. The phrase 'UHF Cable   
   Access channel' is an oxymoron. Also, it was cancelled from CC after the 7th   
   season, NOT the 8th. The 8th season was the first season they were on   
   Sci-Fi.   
      
   Please check your facts before creating more 'trivia'.
