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..

Any CBS/Syndicated show originally ran on TV 8..

I know the idea is out there..Doubt there'd be enough of some shows to do a full series..

  1. It would also be great to see some of the older local programs from other stations too. I'm sure there are recording out there of Super Host from WUAB, The Ghoul from WKBF & WCLQ, Barnaby from WKYC & WUAB, Captain Cleveland from WKBF. There is so much old programming out there that may never be broadcast again.

    Interesting you should mention Captain Cleveland. Someone just put some audio up from his show in 1970.

    Here it is on my C-C-M Facebook Page..
