Here is the solved puzzle:
"The cable television company that serves Columbia, S. C., aimed a camera full~time at an aquarium to occupy a vacant channel while awaiting the start~up of the Science~Fiction Channel. When the Science~Fiction Channel replaced the “fish channel” complaints were so numerous that the cable company were forced to find another channel for the aquarium, which it ran 14 hours a day.

~~ The World Almanac and Book of Facts 1994”

Luckies4me E (35), I (21), U (11), L (16), N (28), R (14), H (22), B (4) = 218 points

HappyTailsRattery A (40), O (21), S (14), D (7), T (27), C (27) = 197 points

Casper & Kitty K (1), W (7), M (11) = 19 points

MomOfFuzzyFaces F(10) = 10 points

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Casper & Kitty submitted the winning guess. I bolded the areas in the puzzle where the errors in the three wrong guesses were. Most everyone prior to C&K assumed 'aimed' was 'aired'. C&K is unfortunately not feeling top of form right now and wishes to pass on hosting the next puzzle. High scorer is Luckies4Me -- are you willing to host the next?

Thank you all for participating in this one. It's been fun, thanks!
