KBHK Son of Svengoolie Open - 1983

[vividwatch47]

M.E.T.V, had Svengoolie until last September in the Bay Area, until they replaced it with Azteca America.

KBHK aired The Joker's Wild and Tic Tac Dough through 1986.

I didn't know that KBHK brought back Svengoolie back for a second try in 1983. They briefly had him on in 1973 as "The Ghoul".

@vividwatch47 "The Ghoul" was a different horror host.

Does seem that this was an import from fellow Field station WFLD in Chicago, which was where "Son of Svengoolie" originated.

[heine71]

Was there also Svengoolie on WKBD Detroit, WLVI Boston, and WKBS Philadelphia?

[wmbrown6]

As I live in a city which was not served by Field -- New York City -

[wmbrown6]

(continued) . . . I can't say for sure . . . but I know from Kaiser/Field days, WLVI had "Creature Double Feature," for example.

[cwf1701]

i don't think so in Detroit, we had the Ghoul (WKBD/WXON/WGPR), Count Scary (WDIV), and Sir graves (WJBK).

[fthetm]

@cwf1701 WKBD-TV 50 had Svengoolie in the early 80s.

@heine71 It's doubtful the broadcast tower in Berwyn put out a strong enough signal to reach Philly.
