Everything that everyone else said. I was a loner teen but I had a “backboard” I made out of a brick wall of my house and I cut the grass super short in front of that area. I remember, summer 1998, really going at that wall for hours, with Wimbledon dreams of all that pomp, circumstance, and glory dancing around my head.
Since NBC has merged with Universal now, I wondered what it would've been like if they made the deal to shoot at Universal Hollywood early. This could've been the tech staff that year, 1984: Associate Director JUDI ELTERMAN Stage Managers MELINDA CASEY, C.J. RAPP, JONATHAN WEISS Technical Director CHRIS DONOVAN Director of Photography (e) MIKE BERLIN Audio EDWARD L. MOSKOWITZ, MYLES WEINER Video JOHN PALACIO JR.

Anytime I see footage from back in those days , I often wonder how many of us from then are still around and maybe feeling nostalgic for them. Wherever you might be, if you’re still around and reading this, cheers to you.
I always enjoyed the close after someone won the Scrabble Sprint and you hear Chuck say "You got it!!!" You would hear sirens & whoops as the close start then it would slowly fade out.
Another network change is coming to Philadelphia. WPSG is dropping The CW and going Independent come September. Nexstar owns both WPHL and a majority stake in The CW. So I have a feeling that an announcement will be made about 17 picking up the network within the next few days.
As I can remember, before cable TV the higher VHF channels came in clearer in South Jersey, so I always liked channel 10 over channel 3 regardless of what network ties they had. When cable TV hit our area I was just so used to thinking that channel 10 and, subsequently, CBS was of better quality TV because I didn't know any better (because I never really watched a lot of channel 3 from poor pre-cable signal) and I thought the split took a strong CBS legacy (Walter Cronkite, etc.) away from channel 10. I still preferred the channel 10 loyalty over the CBS loyalty though.
it's funny to me that the people who are the most politically oriented are the ones most unable to make peace with the truth of politicians as fundamentally flawed and corrupt even at their best. they can't stand to see how the sausage is made. unless it's somebody they are biased toward, then they'll tun a blind eye to everything bad about them. to the best of my knowledge, frank rizzo was a terrible human being and a great mayor. i think being a great mayor was more important.
I remember this. It was so strange seeing NBC shows on 10 instead of 3. I don't remember Seinfeld being on Channel 3. Maybe I wasn't watching. Right when this video ended they were going to discuss the news schedule. I remember NBC10 went nuts with the local news airing it 4-6:30 every day and something like 3 hours a day on Sat and Sun.
It's very rare for most countries to change affiliations due to how their TV networks are set up (like the UK is very set, and they have 5 networks crammed into the UHF band).
