The History of UHF Television site was primarily created because there were some stories that needed to be told because they never had been, and there were other stories that needed to be properly told because the existing versions were riddled with inaccuracies such as presumption of anecdotal information as correct. We have therefore written those stories ourselves and present them for your reading here. Some of them originally appeared at Peter Q. George's former "UHF Morgue" website and have been corrected and expanded; most have been created from scratch. The one thing we will promise the reader is that Broadcasting has been used for the majority of fact-checking, with additional corrections coming from articles found in various newspaper archive sites. We are therefore confident that these articles are at least 90% accurate as presented. In this section, we have listed articles alphabetically by call letters; if you are looking for information on a station but cannot remember the call letters, we suggest consulting our "Channels" pages for listings by channel number; there are many stations on those lists which are linked to external sites with reasonably accurate information on the station in question.
If you have additional information on any of the above stations, please feel free to forward same to us via the Feedback form. We also welcome new articles on stations not yet included above. A footnote from the site content coordinator: When I began working with Clarke Ingram on this site, many of my friends and colleagues asked if there would be an article about the station at which I began my own broadcasting career in 1968 ... KKOG-TV/16 in Ventura CA. This note is to explain why there is not such an article. While I probably have more knowledge about that station than any other person alive today, the details are far more extensive than could have fit into a brief article. Therefore, I have instead created a historical tribute to KKOG-TV at my own website, and I invite any and all who are interested in that station's all-too-brief history to visit same. |
