Detroit Rocks, Really?
Hey there all you Fuzzkateers - 
As you may have noticed from the clips the past two days, we recently got a major donation of excellent tapes - however, they were recorded off of Detroit television. Now, it does have a Chicago connection since as I've mentioned they were recorded off of WKBD Channel 50 - this was a Kaiser Broadcasting station and eventually a Field station, just like its sister-station WFLD. So there are a lot of similarities.
What we received was 56 Sony K-60 Betamax tapes, each one recorded in Beta I, and each one with one episode of Star Trek on there. They date from late-1976 to a few from 1980 (the majority seem to be from 1977-1978). Fifty-six hours of 70s broadcasts, complete with commercials, in excellent quality - can you believe it? If there were Chicago recordings on these tapes it would probably be one of the all-time best finds for me - but, seeing as it's at least a WFLD sister-station, I'm not going to complain that much. 
So, in the coming months you may see a fair amount of material from WKBD here - I even created a special quick-category for Detroit TV station clips. Tell me what you think - do you enjoy the retro feel no matter what city its from, or does the clip being from Chicago TV mean more to you? (obviously, I'm sure a lot of the commercials were shown on both stations, but personally I still love watching a clip more knowing that it was shown here on a particular date and time)
Just to be clear, I still have plenty of Chicago TV material - but this WKBD stuff is of such great quality and so old that I feel I have to present it.
