Re: WOUF Back! On 750 Petoskey.

I would have kept WARD. It's one of those "word" calls. Isn't Ward his son in law? They don't use them except in the Top of the Hour ID. Or maybe they thought people would associate it with asylums?

Re: 7&4 problems

7&4 primarily used WOOD-TV for their NBC signal and WNEM as a backup. One time, I heard that they had technical difficulties in the early 70s and accidentally aired WOOD-TV's Today cut-ins sometimes.

She also hosted "America's Funniest People", a spinoff of "America's Funniest Home Videos" 1992-94. Very sad indeed.

Re: WGKI/WGKU footage found at last!

I remembered WGKI's early days watching them on cable. Talk about low, low budget! The sound was muddy, the picture was shaky and the graphics resembled what 7&4's looked like from 1980. But, Gary never gave up and the station only grew more and more under his leadership!
