I grew up watching Channel 29 from its first day on the air. I remember this logo. I also remember the way that it created itself with the two lines moving across the screen and forming the 2 and the 9. Too bad no has this on video, along with some of the station I.D. music.
@Hydrart: this was long before wutv installed their towering transmitters in grand island. these transmitters can be seen as far south as orchard park and as far north as lewiston....
@domirules28 A colleague of mine tells me the WUTV studio building is still up for sale, and no activity there for years. Any idea on who's trying to get the place?
By any chance, was the 98.5 studio of KISS FM also HQ'd there at one time?
WUTV became a FOX affilliate in 1990. Up until then, they were independent. They had an awesome line-up: Cartoons before and after school, great re-runs and LOTS of movies.
Sounds like KTVU in the Oakland/San Francisco area when I was 6 in '77... very good station in the pre-Fox days, and they really thought of the kids when they had their daytime line-ups.
"Mickey Mouse Club," "The Archies," and those 1-minute "Charley and Humphrey" vignettes.
I've seen that WUTV logo somewhere else, think on someone's DX website. Also, WUAB had a similar slogan around that time "Channel 43 Plays Favorites".
i have no idea, i know that wutv's studios were in grand island near their transmitters until the early 2000s, when they moved to hertel ave...

After that it was the quest for channel 17 PBS and Monty Python's Flying Circus with the newly purchased rabbit ears from Canadian Tire! HA HAAA!

I was determined to watch channel 29 from Toronto in 1974 before we had cable.
I got the pliers out and connected a coat hanger to the UHF contacts on the TV.
finally I was able to watch Ultraman and Prince Planet after school with only a bit of ghosting rolling and snow.

I only remember this station as a FOX affiliate, but to what network it was affiliated to prior to 1986?

No many great stations left like these from back in the day, they try, but how much Two and a half Men can you handle?
Keaster2000 2 years ago
I can't really grasp "2 and 1/2 Men" on CBS itself.
Yes, they all try. But, in SanFran, they would say, "There's only one 2."

I remember this ID. This goes back to when WUTV was a good station, before it became Fox affilate.

"Good News" with Roger Lund. I think John Bray was the regular newsman

I don't remember that "29" logo at all. Weird.

It was when the station first went on the air in December 1970.
