Man, hard to believe that this great station would be nothing but a memory some 9 months later. It's a shame that the Field Brothers took a great Philadelphia institution like WKBS/48 and used its' untimely demise as a tax write-off and took many staffers to the unemployment line. In the history of TV, this was probably one of the most stupid station shutdowns of all time.

I often wondered why Metromedia never bought the station. Perhaps it was the FCC [over]regulations at the time.
I often thought WKBS would have made a great asset in the company's portfolio.

I too remember the great shows on Channel 48. After its demise, Channel 17 and then eventually "Philly 57" picked up some of 48's line-up but it wasn't the same.

Also, during that time period there was Channel 65 which I remember also played a lot of great old shows. They seemed to like to show a lot of Candid Camera from what I remember. Anyone have any info on Channel 65 and what became of it? Seems to me it was a NJ channel but I don't know for sure.
