Sorry to hear about this. Loved all your old videos. Can't wait to see them again on your new channel. It stinks when that happens.

Hi folks! Brand new to this site, but I think a lot of you probably know me already. I'm Taylor, the operator of the VHSgoodiesWA channels on YouTube. You know me as the 'Yakima TV archiver'. Wanted to sadly inform you that I have lost my original (VHSgoodiesWA) account to the copyright buzzsaws on YouTube. About 40% of my Yakima newscasts are gone, as are the recordings I've found from other markets like Seattle, Kansas City and San Francisco. In addition, I lost my Dailymotion account this afternoon to the buzzsaws (likely Warner Bros, Dailymotion will NOT tell me) and I have a new copyright strike on VHSgoodiesWA3. The '4' account is fine...for now. SINCLAIR / COWLES / MORGAN MURPHY DID NOT TAKE DOWN MY ACCOUNT. It was Warner Bros for Street Smarts and Change of Heart episodes. They had been up at least five to six years before the WB buzzsaws got 'em. Can't find them in reruns or on a streaming app yet WB still wants to protect 21 year old game shows with no current way to find them on TV... With the fact that Sloan's account was also taken down recently, the copyright police have a lot more power over on YouTube lately. They are scrubbing accounts left and right for whichever TV shows they choose, even if those shows have not been on the air in 20 years, and have never been in reruns anywhere since... And recently we lost another one of the Pannoni accounts because ABC cracked down on their entire soap opera library. Try going to Disney+ and searching 'all my children 1989'. Classic Susan Lucci ain't up there. Soap fans loved when we could put those up. Then Disney said no more. I will be SLOWLY uploading everything to a brand new account. VHSgoodiesWA5. But eventually we may all have to ditch YT if they continue this. Internet Archive, anyone? I've been up there for years and no problems. Maybe starve them when they need us the most. They can have PewDiePie and the million-subscriber 'let's play' Roblox and Fortnite players. Don't worry. The KIMA, KNDO, KAPP and out-of-market stuff will be back...very soon. But it will be months before everything is uploaded again, maybe even early 2022. As a new user here, I will also link YT and Archive links whenever necessary to new content I find from Yakima and elsewhere. I've been doing this hobby for years and I love it. In fact I have gotten the attention of former staff members at the Yakima stations, thanking me for uploading newscasts or old commercials they remembered from years past. Rant over. RIP VHSgoodiesWA, 2015-2021.

I miss NewsCenter 16.

Looking at the road from Google, the affected interchange is only two lanes wide in each direction. Another such bottleneck exists in Mobile, Alabama where I-10 goes down to 2 lanes each direction in the George Wallace Tunnel under the Mobile River (a major port) and on the connecting bayway, a 7.5 mile elevated bridge that crosses the northern edge of Mobile Bay. Replacing that has been a nightmare itself, as the last proposal to build a bridge and widened bayway would have levied a toll of almost $6 each way for passenger cars, and it would have been an auto-toll thing with transponders and toll-by-plate, which would have gouged out even more from unsuspecting drivers. Needless to say, the locals revolted and the idea died quickly. Speaking of Mobile, at least WPMI's facility is well away from any major highway. Same with WEAR in Pensacola. In fact, the plot of land there was large enough for WEAR to rebuild an enlarged station in 1994 behind their orignal studios. As for further consolidation in the market, don't give them any more ideas. From what I heard, WPMI lost 7 employees and WEAR lost 12.....
