At the time, Star Week also featured general entertainment listings (movies, concerts, events, etc.). Most often, the cover of Star Week was not TV-related, as the magazine was broad in scope entertainment-wise.

Note:

[19]: "OECA" stands for the Ontario Educational Communications Authority, now more well-known today as TVO. In 1971, ch.19 was Ontario's only full-time educational station, but grew to over 100 stations in 20 years. Also, before TVO started expansion, OECA's programming was also seen mornings on, more or less, every TV station in Ontario, in some cases, simulcasting ch.19. OECA on commercial stations were discontinued after they establised enough stations for sufficient coverage.
