You clearly didn't read the original post which says that very link still lists WBBL as the GR-area affiliate station.

Re: WOOD TV 70 Year Special

Even the photo gallery is lame as hell. WZZM did such a better job with its 50th anniversary celebration a number of years back than WOOD-TV did with its 70th anniversary celebration... I suppose WOOD will have another stab at it in five more years when they reach the big 7-5. That was my thought, ...

Re: WOOD TV 70 Year Special

WOOD has a 70th Anniversary photo gallery on their website that includes some photos of Geha, but that's it:

Re: WOOD TV 70 Year Special

Wasn't her departure from WOOD rather sudden and controversial?

Re: Breaking: Nexstar reaches agreement to purchase Tribune

Even in the very early CATV days? I know Whitehall had WVTV from Milwaukee until 2006 (it only lasted that long due to GR not having a full-time WB affiliate and CW7 ended up taking WVTV's cable slot) I mean, i was a small child in the '80s, so my memory for that time period isn't that great. There...

With WOTV occupying cable 9 in Muskegon and Fremont, I wonder if it replaced WWTV on one or both of those systems.
Muskegon cable has never carried any adjacent-market stations.

Re: Breaking: Nexstar reaches agreement to purchase Tribune

Was there a point in time in which WOTV wasn't carried in Muskegon? Until about ten years ago, WZZM wasn't carried in Battle Creek or Three Rivers WOTV was carried on Muskegon cable in the 1980s when it was still WUHQ. I don't recall exactly when it was dropped other than it was sometimes in the la...

Re: WYCE Recorded Shows?

It's entirely possible that some of the volunteer programmers at WYCE record their air shifts in advance rather than being live on-air, and it's entirely possible that if someone who had a live shift was unable to make it to the station that they chose to run a recorded show early.

Re: New Years Countdown Programs Sucked Balls

Bit of trivia, the ball drop was initially conceived by the owner of the NYT in 1907. I think the main reason why it's still the biggest New Year's celebration in the US is because it's the oldest.

msommers,

Try renaming the file to something more simple, such as "logo.jpg" and see if you have any luck with that.
