I like the new Fox Appalachia logo.

I don't want to get too political here, but there is a huge case against the central Corporation for Public Broadcasting out of bias concerns. I do have a spot for public broadcasting, but under a more state/local-centric model.

I'm a traditional TV lover and I also have a few of the streamers in my house. How much money would you say in the ballpark what the broadcast model is making compared to the first decade or so of it's existence? It's all relative numbers anyway.

I will say this...both and all sides have their issues.

Well I do agree that a lot of TV and film push the politics of their creators to some degree, like Family Guy is one example. Now, content made just to do little more than shock is about half of what is on TV and film these days. Most shows in the adult animated genre have the same plot/character cliches and social/political statement humor (like inserting "God is just that big monster in the sky" every other week). I'm not very strict or religious, but it's truth that movies and especially TV is gratuitously "risque" lately.

I think a lot of the issues with creative quality is the big element of industry politics being involved. Yeah. Digital isn't always better in my opinion.

In Erie, longtime WICU (now WICU/WSEE "Erie News Now") chief engineer Mike Csop passes on at 94 on Thu. Dec 3: https://www.erienewsnow.com/story/43002354/michael-csop-wicutvs-first-chief-engineer-dies-at-94

Maybe this is already posted on here, but this is a more rare arrangement of the 1981 "Our Pride Is Showing" campaign for NBC (localized by KGW-8 from Portland, Oregon). https://youtu.be/zIcpigDKEvc?t=29

CapsGM, I don't remember seeing you here in a while!

Well, I guess that is market #161 for you.

WSEE/Erie "Hello Erie" 1983 spot

WICU Erie NewsCenter 12 (10/1992)

The logos for both stations are now the generic NBC and CBS logos with the plain call letters next to it. Even more bland and worse than it was before.

Here's a small TV note: Lilly/SJL's WICU and WSEE in Erie, PA since having produced a joint newscast have also began ID'ing on-air both as simply "WICU" and "WSEE" with no channel number, at least like at the end of syndicated promos and common stuff.

Starts at 1:13:52 1987 Erie market local high school basketball broadcast by WICU/12. Do you hear any familiar music?
