Hey, does anybody have any footage from the short-lived WBIS+?

If you think Channel 31 is totally lousy now, raise your hand.

BRING BACK WNYC Channel 31, We must launch a campaign for it's return! Does anyone agree with me?

[Juliaflo]

I suppose this will give away my age, but does anyone remember the news given by Paul Manacher and Herbert Boland back in the 1960's on Channel 31?

Used to enjoy the Japanese programming from Fuji TV/FCI and they had a Jamaican series "Lime Tree Lane" Sunday Mornings at 1am in the mid 90s.

Sinovision FTW. Haiti Premiere Classe & Video Music Box also FTW. I switched over to channel 25 after this station went down.

@danawadd You know, if it was not WNYC I would not know what Doctor Who was. Thanks to my little brother who was like 10 months old and he was hitting the remote control. The Tom Baker adventure of Warriors Gate help me open doors to the Who universe. It also got me into Blakes' 7 and The Prisoner. Yeah after 35 years at that time the station cancels!

Juliaflo, I agree!!

[Juliaflo]

@Jerseysson27 Here, here. What they show on Channel 31, I would not trust to a compost heap or a landfill.
