I didn't have cable until I was twelve and we moved to the States; in southern Quebec, over the antenna, we got CTV and CBC and two or three Vermont broadcast channels.
My strongest memories of kid TV: Today's Special (a Canadian show about a mannequin who lives in a department store! It's so good! In my memories!), Belle and Sebastian, all the early-90s Disney afternoon block stuff (Darkwing Duck, Ducktales, Talespin, Rescue Rangers), Star Trek: The Next Generation. In France I watched Mysterious Cities of Gold, Asterix, Tintin, and a really excellent (in my memories!) Italian-Japanese co-production of The Jungle Book. In my mind, it's the only canonical version of The Jungle Book - the wolves are very pretty, and it doesn't feel AS bad, colonialism-wise, as either the Kipling book or the Disney animated film.
(I have just learned this is available digitally on Amazon, for $15/season, and I am definitely going to buy it.)
