  • This is rare stuff you have there. This station is no longer in existence or was it bought out by a mega corporation in the 90's? I'm from Allentown, PA so we would have had this station on our cable system (Service Electric) we get NY and Philly stations on the lower numbered channels.

  • @rwk2050, it became WTXF-TV Fox29

  • Oh My God. The Internet really does have everything! OK, here's a challenge for you. In the summer of 1985 or 86, TV29 ran an ad for a daily block of shows that would run for the summer months. They made new lyrics to the tune "Summertime, Summertime" by the Jamies.

    If you can put it up you will have officially won the internet.

    It haunted me for years because some video clips have a little bit of the old ultraviolence. Ah, the 80's... Neck Slashing... Speed boat chasin'... Good Times...

  • @SJLT252 Actually, Rupert Murdoch didn't purchase this station until 1995. From 1986 until then, the station was just a Fox affiliate owned by Taft, followed by TVX, and finally, Paramount/Viacom.

  • @rwk2050 this channel and many other independent channels were bought out by Rupert Murdoch circa 1986 to form the Fox Television Network.

  • By '86, Liberty Place was under construction!!!

  • That brought back some childhood memories. I knew if I saw that, my butt was in trouble for being up so late on a school night! LOL But generally my parents let me stay up late in the summer and on weekends.

  • This SSB was also used by WITI in Milwaukee.

  • @ewok0990 I believe the clip from 'Community Update' was filmed on Spruce Street in the Olde City section looking East toward the Delaware River. Anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong.

  • i still remember seeing this as a kid in Trenton
