WPCQ has some real oddities: a show (a game show no less) between the local and national news, no 11pm newscast (so they could show Benny Hill!). I decided to look up this station, and the next year they would drop the national news altogether. I wonder why NBC decided to stick with such a low rent affiliate.
 
What really shocks me is that WPCQ would show Real People instead of the network news. You don't see that these days. It was when Renaissance Broadcasting acquired the station from Group W in 1984, that they stopped preempting the network news.
