0:35 Nice to know that WKBS aired The Avengers in the '70s! (Not the Marvel Comics universe but the 1960s British series featuring Patrick Macnee/John Steed, Diana Rigg/Emma Peel and others.) I discovered it on the Charge network around 2018. Now _that_ was classy television!
I miss both WKBS and WGTW. They had the best cartoons during the weekdays until 1983. When I stumbled to WGTW, three letters came to mind......E C W!
4:13 Svengoolie was on 48? I thought he was exclusive to Chicago back then.

Man I miss UHF tv
Interesting that I gave the 48th thumb up for this history of channel 48 logos.

The cable companies in parts of NJ that were considered the NYC market carried WKBS up to the very end. They wouldn't touch WGTW, and I can see why.
Launched on 9/1/1965,Now History since 8/30/1983.
