This was news to us as well! Digging around, it seems that the full-fledged West Coast feed went live in early 1998. Old newspapers we found suggest that Dexter's Laboratory *was* being watched in California before that, but the schedules were weird (time zone differences) and, in those days, not every cable provider carried it.
When did Cartoon Network become available for West Coast viewers? I'm genuinely surprised to learn about the channel's limited availability.
