WCMC/40(now WMGM-TV), Wildwood, NJ, anywhere from sign-on in 1966 to about 1977
WOPC/38(later 23), Altoona, PA, anywhere from 1974 to around 1985
WKYH/57, Hazard, KY, anywhere from 1973 to 1987(after they became the current WYMT-TV)

Well, you can't have a whole day, but here's a half-hour of WNBT, New York celebrating 10 years of television broadcasting.

The airdate: April 30, 1949, 8PM Eastern.

I hadn't seen that opening card ever before this...very interesting stuff!

I'd love to see WCCB/36 in Charlotte from their sign-on in 1964 to 1967 when they carried programing from all three networks--Actually, WBTV/3 and WSOC/9 which were also carrying programs from all three networks during that period. In 1967 WCCB, which by that time had moved down to 18, went full time ABC while WBTV was CBS and WSOC was NBC. Those were some wild schedules during those three years....

 

[gr8oldies]

Charlotte's situation must have been like Dayton..a patchwork quilt of programming from all 3 networks on 3 stations

 

[anotherguyTN]

WPTY 24 and WLMT 30 in Memphis and WJKT 16 in Jackson, TN when they were independents.

 

[cwf1701]

WWJ when it was on channel 4 (1947-78)

the full broadcast day of CKLW-9 from 11-22-1963.

dgendvil, I have much of what you are looking for from KIRO. PM me if you'd like to get a copy. It would take some time to put together, but you might find it worth it.

I would like to see the coverage of the day President Reagan was shot in '81. For some reason, I never rolled tape. But this day had the famous ABC Frank Reynolds on-air rant, "can't we get this right?". Priceless stuff, but hard to find.

 

[DS67]

I'd love to watch cable tv from the 1981-1983 period,when We first got cable tv.

 

[CrankyYankee]

I'd like to see HA! or USA's 'Nightflight' again.

 

[gr8oldies]

Our cable access channel when it had a camera that scanned weather dials. Like to see the barometric pressure go below the scale during the Blizzard of 78.

i like to see wkab tv 1952-1954 wrestling movies bishop sheen country music shows local western movies etc

 

[Bob1370]

"bishop sheen"

I think they're still running old kinescopes of his DuMont and ABC shows of the 1950s--and the color tapes he made in Rochester for the syndicated revival in the 1960s--on both Trinity and EWTN, if you're interested. All these years later he remains compelling...something you can't say about most of the current programs they offer.

Bob:
I am not Catholic by faith, though I am a Christian..Long before now, when I would see Bishop Sheen on WEWS-TV 5 in the syndicated shows in the 1960's as a youngster, he intimidated me. Listening to him, now, he is (was) a very compelling speaker..
