And Channel 18 bought quite a few British shows, too. Imagine the shock of my English friends of a certain age when I mention that I used to watch "Robin's Nest" and "Man About the House" when I was a kid in the late 70s.
WVTV / WCGV ... I was surprised as a kid to learn that those offices were located a fewblocks from my house ... I thought Michigan J. Frog lived in thier & Jamie Foxx and everyone else...
WCGV was UPN now MNTV & WVTV became WB now the CW..
I wonder if Philly 57 in Philadelphia had this kind of jingle.

Just as catchy as the WUTV one. I'm sure they were good times in Millaukee like they were for us around Buffalo

That clip with Bugs Bunny from 0:25 to 0:33 is from "Rabbit Hood".
