That wasn't a copyright strike more than it was a Community Guidelines violation. When my channels were still up, I got a strike here and there for community guidelines...and it was always about "spam". Always had them overturned and restored. Some a------ must have flagged his videos so he would be terminated. Likewise, the AVTB account where I am reposting many of my videos got a copyright strike last week from another YouTuber for a video of commercials from a block of 1986 cartoons. His reason? "You stole my video." The YouTuber was not verified, and he too was posting blocks of Saturday morning cartoons, but he was posting the whole cartoons w/ commercials. Keep in mind, '80s nostalgia-type guy, not a voice actor, not a producer, never worked for DIC. My commercials were from the same program, but different station...and he carefully edited out any local breaks on his videos. We have emailed him to try and get this retracted, but he refuses to answer us.

A look at KCTZ-7 Bozeman (now KBZK/CBS) just a few months after they signed on with ABC programming. Notice the bulletin board used for the 'ID'. Small town TV at its finest.

KTVM clips have returned from the dead, nearly-complete 9/17/91 newscast and a clip from 1989. And current "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me!" scorekeeper Bill Kurtis on this clip of the CBS Evening News from Labor Day 1984.

Time to go back to some childhood memories. Dan & Kathi...the best TV news anchors in Seattle. Ever. Kathi, you are forever and ever missed. Meanwhile, I just reuploaded this rare 1995 KRCR newscast that looks like it's 5 or 6 years behind the times. Small town TV at its finest, and crude graphics especially in the WX forecasts. And back to Seattle for part of KSTW's 10 O'Clock News from Feb 6, 1993.

Yes, the logo changed slightly on KIMA. And the new opening means the end of any Fisher-era graphic package. They were one of the last holdouts. I assume KLEW has done the same.

Several minutes of KAPP Local News at 11, from 1/8/2003. Anchor is Janice Miller Meanwhile, that night's 'Up Close' from ABC has been reposted. This was the short-lived filler program that aired at 12:05 in between the end of Politically Incorrect and before Jimmy Kimmel went on the air. One person of interest was interviewed for the whole half-hour timeslot.

WCBS was known for that. They were still doing that routine even in the early '90s I believe. And there were several others who decided to do the same, not just the other CBS O&Os.

First couple of minutes from KIMA's Weekend Edition at the end of this video. Taped 3/17/02

And now I present to you, back from the dead...the oldest KIMA NewsBeat clips I have! And of course, thanks to Eric and the AVTB folks for giving me some storage space back on YouTube.

The Sally clip they pulled off was from July 2000 (but was very likely a rerun from earlier in the 1999-00 season). From then on out they were no-nos on YouTube. We did not get Charles Perez, Mark Walberg, Ainsley Harriott, along with several other lesser-known talk shows in Yakima. We did get Bertice Berry (on KIMA), Judge for Yourself with Bill Handel ('Handel on the Law' and KFI morning show host, that one aired on KIMA), Les Brown (on KNDO), and Carnie Wilson (also on KNDO). I was able to find part of a Judge for Yourself episode and it never got blocked or taken down.

Good to know re Street Smarts and Change of Heart. Jay Leno was also fine (my Headlines clips had tens of thousands of plays and 100+ likes), but very occasionally I did get a block for a segment (like if a celebrity was being interviewed and they aired a 45-second clip from the upcoming movie they were pitching). Conan O'Brien is a whole different story. I had blocks on about three episodes I posted, including an early episode with Sid Caesar. They seem to have left Letterman alone, even his CBS show was fine. The one Later episode I found was OK, but not the "Friday Night" broadcast I found from AFRTS. Talk shows are often blocked or removed nowadays. Obviously Harpo stuff is a no-no. And for Dr. Phil, even on Archive. That's because of the OWN reruns, I believe. Maury episodes got blocked, Geraldo got blocked, Sally Jessy Raphael was taken down, Regis & Kathie Lee was mixed, and Martha Stewart got taken down because of the streaming channel + Dabl reruns. I also avoid the few Merv Griffin clips I have and only put those on Archive. I've been OK with Rosie O'Donnell (surprising, that's a WB distributed show), Bertice Berry, Donahue, Joan Rivers, and a couple of others. I think Nosey has some of the later shows, like the 'baby's daddy' Maury and Geraldo, but not of Regis & Kathie Lee or Sally.

Warner Bros. is streaming old Street Smarts episodes? That would be cool to see. Shame Frank Nicotero's show rarely got good timeslots where I lived. One season they were at 11:30PM, but two or three seasons ran at 4 or 5 in the morning. This was in Seattle. It never got cleared in Yakima. Back in the olden days, Johnny Carson was an absolute no-no on YouTube. Anything and everything got taken down. Not the case anymore. I used to post clips from '80s episodes of The Tonight Show and no one ever touched them. It's a little interesting as the show is still reran on Antenna TV.

WB is where my nightmares began. Anything Sony is a no-no of course. Vintage ABC soaps were on YouTube for years and years, and then Disney had time on their hands during the pandemic to take 'em all down. I'm sure the Susan Lucci fans are not happy anymore. The stupidest copyright strike I ever got was for a commercial...never post anything from Cancer Treatment Centers of America, at least commercials from about 1999 onward. They are known to take down their commercials (and they gave me a strike for a random CTCA commercial on a KMGH break from 2001). To make it fair on all of us - they need streaming apps for these shows. If they feel so protective of their copyright content, make us pay for a streaming app that has classic Y&R, All My Children and General Hospital. It's not like I can find the complete 1987-88 season of General Hospital on DVD complete with bloopers, you know. This is why I keep Yakima TV content alive on places like the Internet Archive (and now stored again on YouTube via AVTB). Former viewers have thanked me for posting classic commercials, and I've had people who worked at KIMA and KAPP thank me in the comments for uploading newscasts and sign-offs. Except in KTVO's case, at least they still have some of their archive left. KIMA threw it all out around the time Stu Seibel retired. He told me personally. That alone is why I continue this effort. KAPP and KNDO aren't left out either, because they too were based in Yakima for decades (dueling studios on 24th near the airport), and of course when they vacated for Tri-Cities, nothing was archived either....... For all I know, I may have the only copy of that NewsBeat at 11 or NewsCenter 23 broadcast, even if partial. By the way, the best comment I ever got, and I mentioned this earlier, was Ken Crockett's daughter Lori. She was so thankful that I had posted several KIMA NewsBeat clips with her dad on them. She ended up making a Christmas collage and surprised her dad with a compilation of clips I had found for last Christmas. He loved it because he hadn't seen himself on KIMA in 30 years. Those comments melt my heart. People still care. When T.J. Close passed away in 2019, our long-time (30+ years) lead anchor for KIMA, Stu Seibel emailed me and asked me to copy off the Flood of '96 special he hosted for his family members in AZ who had never watched it. I did exactly that, copied the 28-minute program onto an SP-quality DVD, double-checked it, and he personally thanked me for my efforts.

The ill-fated version. At least Patrick (You WINNNNN!) Wayne didn't host that one AND Tic Tac Dough... Pat went on to much better things. Shop 'Til You Drop was fun to watch, I got to see it when I was very little before PAX dumped the old reruns for the J.D. Roberto version in that big warehouse-like place...and of course The Big Spin, where he turned ordinary Californians into millionaires.

Darn. Oh well. That's where you have me to fill you in! I went to an estate sale last Saturday in Yakima and found a tape that had among other things, 2004 KNDO and KIMA newscasts on it. One of KNDO's Northwest Today, one of the 11pm KNDO news and a partial clip of KIMA NewsWatch at 11. Those are going up to Archive soon as is everything else I've found so far...trying to hurry and get them up as fast as I can. I should have the Flood of '96 specials and news clips, Stu Seibel's final forecast and most of the other 'big' finds up this month. And keep in mind, the "AVTB" channel on YouTube is where you can find same-day or next-day copies of the Internet Archive videos. I mentioned this on the 'YouTube discussion' page.

Thanks for the Vegas newscasts, @compubit. Did you ever make it up to central/southeastern WA anytime in your news recording days, to record KEPR or KIMA, KNDU or KVEW? Just wanted to ask in case I missed a post somewhere along the way.

First few minutes of WRC News 4 at 11, from February 18th, 1999. Top story: the Greaseman, well-known shock jock, is fired for a racist remark that went too far. https://archive.org/details/capture-a-764

Even though my time at YouTube seems to be over, keep in mind that Pepsi9072 (Eric) has been posting selected videos from my collection to YT so at least the memories can return. Also, through a magical method that I cannot disclose, I have been able to upload a few things to the project he manages. It's called "The AVTB Archives". Keep in mind, I cannot disclose anything about how Eric was able to get me this privilege, but it means about twice a week I can post commercials and newscasts from my collection back to YouTube via AVTB. So, a small win I guess?

My accounts will remain terminated. Sorry everybody.

Nothing has updated with the YouTube situation. However, just now, I sent off appeal #2 for both VHSgoodiesWA3 and VHSgoodiesWA4. I sent the same appeal notice to both the regular appeal tool and the [email protected] address. We'll see what happens now............. If I don't hear from them this time, I will be sending ANOTHER appeal around May 10th. I will not give up on getting my videos back, even if I have to apologize to Warner Bros.

So glad to finally have this one back up on the internet where it belongs... The Disney Channel signs off the air for a one-hour maintenance period, early on May 4th, 1988. They went 24/7 in 1986 but every once in a while, had to go off for maintenance. Before YouTube yanked my account, this video had somewhere in the ballpark of 15-20K views. I can't remember now. https://archive.org/details/capture-a-700 A lot of people still miss ole' George Michael...and not the Wham! singer either. George Michael's Sports Machine from 2/12/1995, taped off KNDO Yakima. https://archive.org/details/capture-a-724

Late and forever great Jim Vance on this one. https://archive.org/details/capture-a-660 Don't forget that most of these newscasts are also being uploaded on YouTube thanks to a friend of mine who agreed to reupload some of my videos with my permission. He mostly specializes in closing logo compilations, but this time went way above and beyond and has put about 20 of my newscasts (and eventually many commercial breaks and sign-offs) back on YT where they also belong. So thanks, Pepsi9072!

Robin Leach explores the life of teen idol Debbie Gibson on this Lifestyles clip from the early '90s (but taped off a Travel Channel rerun in 1995) https://archive.org/details/capture-a-585 Linda Evans on this infomercial for one of the stupidest and weirdest infomercial products - the Rejuvenique mask.
