I had this station in our Suburban Cablevision through September 30,1988. The following day,it was replaced by the launching of Turner Network Television.
how big a loser would you have had to be if you were spending your july 4th 1986 evening thinking you were going to "enjoy" bosom buddies and the ropers, only to find they were pre-empted.
Where I lived (NYC market), you needed cable to get these great Philly stations. At least with WTAF, you didn't have to change the channels to get from one favorite show to another, they'd all be in the same lineup. NYC had them spread out over both WNEW/WNYW and WPIX.
