I have no idea what you are talking about but if whatever it is makes the New York Times unhappy - I’m for it.
Cool deal, Mick - best of success to your son. The broadcast networks need to become innovative in order to hold onto a viable section of the audience, and this might be the way to go. Most local news strips are basically the same as they were when Richard Nixon was President, and it’s about time they wake up and smell the coffee.
Fox has WNYW Channel 5 and does their 10 o clock news...why wouldn’t they try to do something on Channel 9 to get the Joisy Demos?
Once, the government might have been honestly concerned about the news / public service content of broadcast stations. These days, I'm guessing their concerns are more about whether the propaganda is getting to the people.
I remember growing up in the area, I would watch channel 5, channel 9, and channel 11. They always had good programming for a kid my age. Channel 11, WPIX always had “The March of the Wooden Soldiers” every Thanksgiving, and a great Abbott & Costello movie every Saturday (or was it Sunday?) at 11:30 am.
This was back when if you got 6 channels off the rabbit ears, you were lucky. :-)
Awesome!
the description sounds awful. Like needs more stupid pop news
I remember watching a lot of the Brit Coms on WOR-TV when it came on our cable system in the late 1970’s onward into the 1980’s. I remember seeing Benny Hill and other British shows such as Dr. Who and Gerry and Silvia Anderson’s “UFO” and “Space 1999” although the latter was on local TV too here in Pittsburgh. I also watched a lot of Morton Downey Jr. too. BTW, I always had laughs when they showed the Carvel Ice Cream commercials and who can forget “Crazy Eddie?”
Thanks for the heads up. I’m in the Philly burbs so I’ll make sure to look for it.
