Then there was WSNS-TV Channel 44... now that channel had a lot of Japanese shows reworked with English for American kids including Prince Planet in the early 70s. Maybe you never found Ch 44?
Ch 44 also had Space Giants (1965-67) US airing early 1970, Johnny Sokko And His Flying Robot (1967-68) US airing 1969-80's), Ultraman (1966-67) US airing 1966-80s, and Spectreman (1971-72) US airing probably 1977).

I lived in Fort Sheridan (closed and think it's a Community...being that close to Lake Michigan would almost ensure that) from August 1976-June 1979; one of my Dad's longer tours and that last move was very tough.
I remember those SPIDER-MAN cartoons! -That cool music
! And I'm sure I checked out 44 at some point, just not as clear to Me as 32 was.
For a couple of years up there, would start watching Bears games; didn't really care so much, was just hoping to fit in at school somehow. Remember Walter
Payton was a God and He really was too good for the team than...they could be quite erratic. Also was really getting into Hard music than with KISS, especially decorating my room with posters of them and others.
Because I have too much time on my hands
, I remember VERY well Channel 44 out of Oakland CA in 1971, especially OUTER SPACE THEATER Saturday 2;30, SCIENCE FICTION THEATER 7:30, Kick Boxing and Championship Wresting at 5 with Pat Patterson, Rocky "Soul Man" Johnson, "Luscious" Lars Anderson, The Great Mephisto and Ernie Ladd sticking out. With Hank Renner commentating-quite animated!-and the Lovely Miss Wrestling (putting a Blue Ribbon on the Winner's name) later becoming Miki Garcia
