An old gem from WAGA

This may have been during my time in Miami since this is the first I've seen of this clip.

It features Melissa Sander and a lot of grapes. The sounds she makes are hillarious, and how dehumanized and "professional" they're acting back in studio makes it funnier.

The one lady in the studio starts to lose it if you really listen to her. That clip is funny although I know that wasn't fun for that lady.

That clip is from "Good Day Atlanta" circa 1999 or so. Melissa Sander was the Road Warrior then, an the anchors were Marc Bailey and Gurvir Dhinsa.

Marc is now morning anchor at XETV Fox6 San Diego, and Gurvir the same at WTTG Fox 5 Washington. Melissa is a meterologist a WPSG UPN 57 Philadelphia.

XETV? When did San Diego become part of Mexico?

The transmitter is in Mexico.

Had no idea you could do that.

Happens a lot along the border. In the Rio Grand Valley of Texas (Brownsville/Weslaco/McAllen market) the Fox and UPN stations transmit from Mexico with calls like XXUPN-2. Fox used to be on XXFOX-17, but I think they dropped that network for Univision or something and picked up another frequency.

XETV-6 started out as an ABC affiliate. NBC's San Diego O&O KNSD-39 (cable 7), sometime in the mid-70s (when it was independent and not owned by NBC), made hay about the fact that ABC was on a non-US licensed station and was successful at getting the FCC to pressure ABC to move to 39. In the late-70s, when ABC was #1, KGTV-10 picked up the ABC contract and NBC went to 39. XETV remained independent until FOX signed on in 1986 (and possibly as late as the early 90s).
