It's a shame that WAXA 40 went off the air a month earlier after financial issues following the loss of Frank Outlaw. IMHO, If WAXA 40 was still on the air on this date, it would carry ABC shows like Home and daytime repeats of Perfect Strangers which was preempted by WLOS 13 for local news. And other syndie programs that didn't shown in GSP at the time.
Greenville/Spartanburg, SC market had more stations (5 commercial. WNEG 32, UNC-TV WUNF 33 wasn't mentioned, and 3 PBS from SCETV) than Charleston, SC market (4 commercial, no indies, and one PBS/SCETV).
And a month later NewsCenter4 (WYFF 4) became simply News4, and kept the gold Arrow 4 logo for two more years.
