Re: Network programming preemptions by individual stations
Those were annoying times to watch anything that wasn't available to you locally, at least for me. Interesting to learn Detroiters missed out on Press Your Luck initially unless they weren't all Toledo 11 watchers. I just found out that by September 1984, WJBK had already started clearing Press You...

Re: Network programming preemptions by individual stations
I decided to create this thread to discuss preemptions of network programming by individual stations past and present. Any reason for a particular preemption is allowed here.

Re: Old cable lineups
The machine they used during the late 80's was developed up in Canada called the "Telidon", the graphics it produced looks similar to these videos below. Apparently the original use of this system was for two-way interactivity with the customers themselves, but The Blade only used it passively to p...

Re: Old cable lineups
To pick-up on 1980 vintage Buckeye CATV, yes, two cables, A and B. The B cable had the stereo simulcasts for MTV in 82 or so, plus the Detroit FM stations, it had a Toledo Police scanner on one FM channel, and the NOAA Weather Radio as an FM channel as well.
