Wasn't it in 1977 (on April 22, 21 years and one week to the day after this call letter change) that Channel 8 adopted the WJKW-TV calls for an eight-year sojourn? I seem to have read that they moved to the South Marginal studios on Nov. 2, 1975.

Wbhist:
Thanks for catching that error..WJW did indeed move to the South Marginal site Nov. 2, 1975, and change the call letters to WJKW in 1977. For some reason I had the move two years later..(which I would have corrected in my original post if we were allowed to edit them)
