FCC Rules From Broadcasting Yearbook 1970

Note how simple the Section 73.207 Distance Separations For FM Allotments were then.

Note also the UHF Channel "Taboos", called so because very few people understood them, and still don't. At the time receivers did have a lot of problems dealing with the issues shown at the top of the columns. Tuner issues, especially the relatively large tubes and longer radiating and receiving leads, replaced by smaller transistors and shorter leads between components, were improved over the years.

A little off topic, but Free TV has fought all but a losing battle, the remnants of which are digital TV facilities with reduced service areas that would make Lester Lindow of Maximum Service Telecasters cringe. In the least bit mountainous areas, the digital signals fall apart.
