Here's a project I've been piecing together for a while, representing 70's/80's WOR (and some later WWOR) channel 9, broadcasting to the New York City tri-state area out of Secaucus, New Jersey. It's not comprehensive, and some bits are really just brief fragments that I think are worth keeping. A few segments were already on this channel. I had more than I expected, and hopefully I didn't miss anything cool. It's definitely longer than I anticipated!
I also may have crushed on Sara Lee Kessler a little longer than necessary, but hey, nobody doesn't like Sara Lee, right? Others are probably underrepresented, like I shoulda got more Joe Franklin in there. There's an EBS test at the end, doesn't actually say channel 9 but it's Ted Mallie doing the VO (with Phil Tonken being the other, more reserved voice you'll often hear).
It's sorta chronological... but not really. The clips come from many sources, so video quality varies. Audio was a real pain to modulate, so you might want to begin with your volume low, as I can't claim that I did such a hot job. And thanks to youtube.com/@tapthatt2012?si=wXKvoTYIhVRkgw2j for the Fright Night open--essential!
And NO, other YouTubers, you may NOT hijack this video for your own channels--I'd prefer the views stay right here, thanks!
