Jump to navigationJump to searchList of television syndication affiliates for G1, G2 and Beast Wars
This list is a work-in-progress that is based off several assumptions that may be flawed:
- 1. The Beast Wars Season One list is complete and accurate.[2]
- 2. The Beast Wars Season Two list is complete and accurate.[3]
- 3. The same station carried G1, G2 and BW S1 in a given market.
- 4. The same station that carried BW S2 also carried BW S3 in a given market.
- 5. If BW S2 was not carried in a given market, we cannot reasonably assume what station carried Season 3, if Season 3 was carried in that market at all.
- 6. If BW S1 was not carried in a given market, then we cannot reasonably assume what station carried Generation 1 and 2.
Information for this list has been compiled from several sources:
- 1. The 1996 and 1997 syndication rosters for Beast Wars as listed on the Unofficial Reboot Homepage.
- 2. Video clips of the promotional spots for the various cartoons. The stations confirmed this way are:
- G1 - WGN,WSYM,WTAF,WDRB,WLVI,KSTW,KTVU,WRLH,KGMC,KTXH
- G2 - WVNY
- BW - WPSG, WLVI
- 3. Myself. Being from the Cleveland area, I can guarantee the accuracy of the Cleveland market.
- 4. Tribmat's newspaper research. has confirmed WHEC for Rochester and the lack of a Syracuse affiliate for G1 for at least 1984 and 1985.
- 5. This post from Seibertron.com. Lists Des Moines, Iowa and Jackson, Mississippi.
- 6. [3] - Promo for G.I. Joe running during Transformers confirms the station Transformers was airing on (KCOP in LA).
- 7. [User_talk:Tigerpaw28/List_of_Transformers_TV_Stations|On this page's talk page] Hooper X along with other fans confirms stations for Atlanta.
- 8. Also on the talk page User:Khajidha confirms WCCB for Charlotte, NC
- 9. The description of a YouTube video asserts that WSEE was the Erie affiliate for G1.
I have also gone through the list to check for impossibilities. Stations not around long enough to have carried one or more of the cartoons, have had their name pulled from the appropriate column and row. In cases where a station's first broadcast was in the middle of the G1 series run, I've erred on the side of caution and pulled the entry. But for those stations that started airing around September 24th of 1984, I'm leaving them in.

- ↑ The Syracuse market had no independent station until 1986. A 1984 televison listing in the Syracuse Herald-Journal shows that viewers could watch the G1 show on WPIX or WHEC from the NYC and Rochester markets. I'm making an assumption that the ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates in Syracuse wouldn't have picked up the show in 1985.
