Lost channel 4 in the digital conversion of 2009. Picked up two weeks ago for a day. Good channel though. Always liked Kelly Frey and Janelle Hall. Paul Long and Adam Lynch were Pittsburgh icons back in the day.
Joe DeNardo was a legendary meteorologist, there was a saying that "Joe said it would." I've heard he unfortunately died, but at least he continues to do forecasts up in Heaven. He is dearly missed, by everybody.
These guys are part of the reason Wheeling couldn't get their own ABC affiliate for the longest time (how does a station have that much power on another market, I'll never know). I guess they couldn't keep it up forever since Wheeling finally got one when WTRF got it for one of their subchannels (and WTAE is degraded to a digital channel on many of the Xfinity systems in that market now). Apparently they had a far reach and that wasn't the only submarket they were trying to stay in, either. Wonder if someone finally got on them about doing that or what the story was on their end as to what made either Hearst or ABC realize that it was dumb to deny a market the opportunity to have their own ABC affiliation because of how strong another market's affiliate was.
ACTION NEWS on ABC4. In the early 1990s, WTAE took a break from Action News name, and they called themselves WTAE 4 NEWS. But in 1996, Action News is BACK on Channel 4.
@@newstarcadefan There a couple of intros that both WBAL-TV NBC11 in Baltimore, MD and WGAL-TV NBC8 in Lancaster/Harrisburg, PA that used the exact same intros.
The ID Junkie Yep. Most of the videos you’re looking for are still on my channel. I just made them private for the time being so I *WOULDN’T* get my channel pulled.
