By this time, WNYS/9 had become WIXT (with a singing jingle -- "the one and only TV Niiiine!).
 
I suppose by this time the Lucky 7 pirate TV station had gone off the air? :eek:
 
"Informed Source (local show; Leonard Markert Jr. former Republican county vice-chairman, discusses with three panelists his recent conspiracy trial from his perspective as defendant)"

Couple sidebars on this; first, Leonard Markert Jr., who just passed away at the beginning of this year, was exhonerated, regained his reputation and spent the rest of his life as a respected businessman and community leader. But his own reputation, as good as it was, was overshadowed in the community by the regional renown of his younger brother--longtime WHEN(AM) morning man Phil Markert, one of Central New York's most durable and popular radio personalities of recent years.

Yea, that lasted but a few days in spring 1978.

But the operators are still very much involved in broadcasting. Even though the statue of limitations have long passed, I will not name names.

Wonder if any astute viewers (or the perpetrators themselves) caught video on an early consumer VCR -- that would make a nice YouTube clip. ;)

I remember seeing local tv cover it when it happened...so we would have to rely on 3/4" archives, if they exist...

Here's a thread from about a year ago on it, from these boards...
