Thanks for posting this video! It brings back memories for me as well. I also remember the massive tower near Butler, Ohio.

Anyone know why WCOM-TV was so short lived?

AFAICT, they bet the farm on being able to expand into the Columbus market, including a strategically-placed transmitter that gave them coverage (in theory) all the way to Franklin County. It didn't work, they couldn't get picked up by Columbus cable systems, and I believe a bankruptcy was involved.

The station went dark in mid-1989, but came back a few years later as WMFD (with a *much* weaker stick that no longer reaches to Columbus).

That's okay on the video quality. It didn't come in that good in Grove City (just outside of Columbus) where I lived at the time.
