Thanks for sharing...knew Ch. 48 aired Star Trek TOS, but didn't know they ran its animated counterpart as well!
This is great! Brings back so many memories. Channel 48 was the best UHF channel back then: The Honeymooners, The Flintstones, The Brady Bunch, Fernwood Tonight, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, You Bet Your Life, and lots of great old movies from the 30's through the 60's. Please upload more if you have them. these are buried treasures.
1979. I was a happy 10 year old watching my favorite UHF channel, WKBS-TV Channel 48. I watched WTAF 29 and WPHL 17, but as a kid, Channel 48 was the best. "Brady Bunch", "Battle of the Planets", "Nu Zoo Revue" etc. Good times.
WKBS 48 "The Kids Fun Machine", WPHL-17, WTAF-29, WPMT-43, WPIX-11 Alive, WNEW "The Choice Is 5", Snipets, The Most Important Person.... soooo much great stuff for a kid to watch during the 70's and 80's
@@maestro80smusic93 SNIPETS! My favorite program on 48! This year is the big 50th anniversary!
I was 6 and vividly remember this era
Channel 48 was my favorite channel back in the day. I miss the days of independent TV stations
For real. It should of never went away
I remember watching all of these shows back on channel 48 from the late 70s up to 1983 when the network went off air because I remember watching animated cartoons, such as the Flintstones, the Warner Brothers cartoons and the Harvey productions cartoons, which featured Casper, the friendly goose and baby Huey plus many others and I remember the original Star Trek TV series from the 60s when they used to have it on that network and I remember watching a medical show called emergency, which featured the story about the Los Angeles fire department and rescue squads of California and I remember watching a television program every Saturday afternoon at 1:00 PM known as creature double feature, which shows lots of sci-fi and horror movies from the past because I remember watching beware the blob from 1972 back on the network when I was in a young boy back in the 80s plus I remember the Snippets series also plus the original soul train TV series which came on every afternoon at 12 afternoon because WKB was the joint in the 70s and 80s when I was coming up as a young boy and I really miss that network so much.
Thanks for bringing my childhood and my favorite TV statiob until this day wkbs 48
Reminds me a lot of Chicago's WFLD during its glory days as an independent station.
Thank you for posting this!
1979 was the year Great Adventure added one of tbe greatest coasters in GA history: Rolling Thunder, the dual tracks, red and blue cars. That, Lighting Loops, Log Flume, and The Great American Scream Machine will always be my favorite rides.
Hearing Dan Foley brings back memories.
Star Trek: The Original Series had the distinction of airing on all four of the major UHF channels in Philly: the late great Channel 48, Channel 17, Channel 29, due to the fact that 29 was airing Star Trek: The Next Generation and later Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Philly 57, which had become the flagship station for then UPN, now the CW, and had aired Star Trek: Voyager, the last four seasons of Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Enterprise and, for a brief time, reruns of The Next Generation.
Yes, great point about it airing on all UHF channels back then... I forgot about that.
"Now we've got spots." Heavens to mergatroid!
The Star Trek episode is All Our Yesterdays.
As I said earlier this aired in march or early April 1979 and this was the final year star trek aired on channel 48 as its contract with field Kaiser was expiring it moved to channel 17 but the star trek cartoons continued to air on 48 up to 1983
I noticed that as well, with the name "Mr Atoz" as one of the characters in the credits. I love this episode.
@@RandomDudeFromSomewhere Mr Atoz was a very agile man!
I just wish "The Choice Is Yours On Channel 48" jingle wasn't cut off.
I know...I liked that too
Although I only had them on occasion, my early memory of Gino's burgers - in comparison to having McDonald's more often - was the taste of yellow mustard being the dominant condiment.
As for Jack in the Box, I have no impression of it other than thinking how I preferred McDonald's over it. Perhaps it was the indoctrination , I mean, lovable charm of the McDonaldland characters that made it better. Plus, there were the Happy Meals, which really were fun as a child. The Star Trek edition for the first feature length film fondly comes to mind.
Unfortunately, whether true or not, there was a rumor at some point in the early history of Jack in the Box, where horse meat was found in the tacos. I wonder if anyone ever called it "Jackass in the box" at the time in reaction to it.
(Now I'm thinking of Dee from the great TV sitcom, "What's Happening,!" where she calls the Bridge Burger "jackass meat" during an audition.)
I guess i could keep going with this.
White Castle was tried with my family, perhaps only once, all I remember was a strong onion taste with those square patties that I didn't care for. Apparently, no one else in my household did, either. From what I'm remembering, they were quite inexpensive at the time - as in, under a quarter a piece. For me, I think it was still over priced.
Wendy's was interesting in that they had the "dress your own burger" option for a time through a gigantic salad bar. I thought that this was a good thing at the time with friends, though I really don't think I "needed" to stack croutons on my burger to the point of it being too high for my mouth to bite into. It was just that I enjoyed how I "could" do that, and it somehow felt "older" to me, as a ten year old, to make my own monstrous concoction.
Burger King would become the only single small burger that I would order later in life, meaning - about twice a year, if that, which ended entirely, years ago, as I could medically no longer eat anything with seeds. So, that reign was over, so to speak. Still, i do still enjoy the scent of the grill when i drive past one. I don't know if that sounds pathetic to anyone else, but it's kind of sad to me. (ha)
Anyway, with that said, I've been looking online for anything that I could find from WKBS Channel 48 (along with WPHL 17 and WTXF 29) and there's plenty to reconnect the sentiment through in commercial breaks, bumpers, and broadcast sign offs (this alone would probably puzzle the current generation, such as having a dial tone on a telephone). And so, it's all greatly appreciated.
I'm still hoping to find more Creature Double Feature, Dr. Shock, and Rockworld video clips on here as well, if possible.
Thanks for reading this small novel, I mean, comment!
I remember night Galery and Twilightzone. At 1100 maybe 1200 on a Friday. I also remember at 1200 it going off the air.
Channel 48 was Philadelphia's "kids network". New Zoo Revue, SNIPETS, The Most Important Person, The Kingdom of Could Be You, The Great Space Coaster, Might Mouse, Woody Woodpecker, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Flintstones, Underdog...and the sitcoms were fantastic (I Love Lucy, Dick Van Dyke, Bob Newhart, Odd Couple, McHale's Navy, Beverly Hillbillies, Dennis the Menace, The Munsters). And, of course, this was the network that introduced me to Star Trek and the cartoon.
I think Mary Tyler Moore was on WTAF channel 29.
Unless you meant Dick Van Dyke because Mary was on that show too.
The voice at the 3:37 mark is the same voice on what I assume is a sister affiliate Channel 44 here in the Bay Area (California) The graphics throughout the video are even the same. Brings back a lot of memories growing up in the late '70s and '80s.
Hi. Do you have more vintage WKBS material?
I have a silent black & white Super 8 film that I made in 1979 of The Six Million Dollar Man on WKBS.
It is a short clip of the episode "Day Of The Robot" where Steve Austin is fighting a robot double of Oscar Goldman.
It includes The Six Million Dollar Man WKBS 48 bumper slide.
Is this from 1979
3:36 - Where’s the Paramount Television logo?
What year was that batch of ads in? I remember growing up in Philly where TV48's call signs was WGTW. I never saw a WKBS call sign before.
This would have been the very late 70s or the very early 80s. WKBS were the call letters when the channel signed on in the 60s, and stayed that way until the Field family turned back the license.
WGTW was the "reborn" name for channel 48 once the license was finally awarded.
So the 'Star Trek' cartoon did air in syndication before Nickelodeon got a hold of it. What year was this recorded, and did it air on the weekends only due having only 22 episodes.
This was an early 80s, maybe late 70s,
airing of the animated series. This channel ran them on Saturday or Sunday mornings, generally once or twice a week.
@@TheHGN2001 The Star Trek cartoon likely aired in 1979 to coincide with the release of Star Trek The Motion Picture.
WKBS also aired Flash & Buck, the serial adventures of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers on Saturdays or Sundays around the same time as NBC was airing the Gil Gerard Buck Rogers series and the Flash Gordon animated series before the Sam J. Jones Flash Gordon movie was released in 1980.
The commercials for the Whoopsie doll, McDonald's and Great Adventure seem to be from 1979.
@@andrewweisneck1102 Probably March or April 1979 the original star trek series aired and you may be right about the cartoon version of star trek it aired sometime in 1979. One more tidbit I thinkDan Foley had just taken over as announcer.
If I remember correctly Animated Trek started being offered for syndication in 1976
@@TheHGN2001 Poparena should do A follow up video for 'Nick Knacks' on when the 'Star Trek' aired in syndication before airing on Nickelodeon.
What year was this
I'm guessing the first part is from 78 or 79. The animated recording could be from 81 or 82.
I think you are right it is from 1979 and the kicks tv show was called hot city disco the original Star Trek moves to wphl in the fall of 1979 this is probably from the earlier part of 1979
Also the voiceover is Dan Foley I think he started voicing over the commercials and promos in 1979 for Ch 48 until the station signed off in August 1983
TheHGN2001 also the ginos commercial has a 1979 copyright date so it is from that year
One more thing this recording is probably from late March early April 1979 since the korvettes commercial that Dan Foley narrates implies that the paint sale ends April 8
