Re: WOUF Back! On 750 Petoskey.

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!
