I’ve been thinking of entering the abandoned KVVV TV building to retrieve reels left behind to archive the footage online, if anyone has ideas of how to do it or if you wanna join in the exploration tell me. I might not be able to do it because I live far away from Texas. If there is a resident near the site who’s interested, you can do it if you like, but I’m not able too.

Some things I’ve been thinking of doing
- Thread starter InterestedInTV
- Start date
So, you're basically asking someone to commit at least one felony, for breaking and entering, possibly two (depending on value stolen) for stolen property. But you won't do it yourself.
He indicates in his profile that he's 14 years old. I doubt he has any idea how to carry out his scheme.
You’d have to get permission from KEDT first.
"On the next Live PD....."
Maybe I shouldn’t then
Unless I do get permission from kedt
Anyways, how do I get permission from a tv station? I’ll do it instead of others (only with kedt’s permission).
Why don't you contact some local TV stations and ask if you could volunteer to archive their footage?
There are a few videos of this place on YouTube, the idea that there'd still be reels of tape in a building that is pretty comprehensively gutted is bizarre:

You're wasting your time.
When the article at the UHF History site on KVVV was written, it was a collaboration of the three Stock Market Observer reporters, and I edited it all together.

Believe me, there are no reels in that old building to salvage. If there were, either one of them would have mentioned it or one of the subsequent explorers would have already removed them.

KVVV’s Wikipedia article says that KEDT bought some of their old equipment.

As stated in the article I just linked, the KVVV transmitter was used to get KEDT on the air. Nothing more.
