It must have been pretty cool to see my hometown on national TV, sometimes now ESPN or somebody else will televise a sporting event from Tacoma, now it's still pretty cool to see your hometwon on national TV.
Interesting side note, I have been to the alley where this event was held many times and even though the listing says Tacoma, it's actually in University Place which is a suburb of Tacoma, like the city I live in Lakewood, Washington, Lakewood became a city in 1996 and before it was a city it was a subrub of Lakewood.
 
Say...who is WVAH-TV channel 23? Also, was channel 11 on the air at that time?

WVAH-TV was originally on channel 23 when it debuted in 1982. The station moved to channel 11 in 1989 after the FCC dropped the frequency into the Huntington-Charleston market. However, WVAH is short-spaced on channel 11 and contorts its signal in order to protect stations in Pittsburgh (WPXI) and Johnson City, TN (WJHL-TV). Channel 23 then went dark; it is now WSAZ-TV's current digital frequency.
