Speculative Fun-Classic TV 8 channel

Various WJW Logos over the years..Top:1962

Middle:1966 Bottom 1965.


Thought i'd go into something completely different..Since WJW-TV 8 has only one Digital channel currently, I thought it would be fun to "suggest" a second digital channel-A Classic TV 8 Channel, that would be used for some live simulcasts and relays of Fox 8 News, as well as "Classic" shows from the WJW-TV archives, even something different than the normal...Actual movies and syndicated/CBS originals from the bygone days of channel 8..Show the Big Chuck/Lil John DVD's as specials, etc..

Note:All speculative, I fully realize you have rights issues that may keep anything close to this from happening, but this is all purely for fun..

WEWS Friday, May 24, 1963 Noon News with Paul Wilcox Reporting





From WEWS's YouTube Page..Polka Varieties clips..


Dailymotion.com..

The classic "Certain Ethnic Varieties" skit from WJW-TV 8's Hoolihan and Big Chuck. It was said that Paul had a great sense of humor about this skit and enjoyed it whenever it was aired..



Our prayers go out to the Wilcox Family at this time..

New Widget..Also November 1961

Not having anything directly to do with the rest of the post..This was an article in the April 16, 1953 edition of the Massillon Evening Independent..WMAC-23 was to have been built in the Whipple Heights section of Canton..(12th St. NW, near Perry Drive)..Accoring to a later Independent article of May 5, 1960, The permit for channel 23 had been cancelled..WAKR switched from 49 to 23 December 1, 1967..


Ad for "45 Hop", which was hosted by longtime Youngstown DJ Boots Bell.. aired weeknights 6:30-8PM on WXTV-It was very rare for WXTV to spend the money for a TV Guide ad..By this time, the station was only on 6-Midnight, and both Movies in the listings had already been shown earlier in the week..The station would leave the air by March 1962..

Hello:

Havent been on a lot I know, just needed a break I guess from posting..I do want to announce for those who dont regularly visit the Facebook Page, I just put up the Western Reserve PBS Special from Last Fall, "Turn Blue, The Short Life Of Ghoulardi" on our CCM Facebook Page..The special is in 7 parts..The first 6 being 6-8 minutes and the last part being about 15 minutes, including Closing Credits and PBS promos at the end..While the special has been included as a pledge gift, There are no announced plans to make it available for purchase, when/if it is, I will announce it..I do know that I have had a number of requests from around the US from people wanting to see this..I have to believe there would be a market for it.Here is the Link:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cleveland-Classic-Media/245324499326?ref=ts

I'll try to put up a completely new post soon..Meantime, Enjoy!
