Weird stuff from the past:
Weird TV channels and programming - what do you remember? (Some from weird Kentucky below)

[- @TimStamps1]

1 -- Channel 10, Morehead, Kentucky programmed "Buy a Hog -- Sell a Dog" (ca. 2000-2010) A guy out of his house had an actual TV transmitter, first with a low power license, broadcast unlicensed in analog into the digital era when analog transmitters were supposed to shut down.

@agwinters Hi Adam,
I listened to David Bubar when he had a radio station on WHER in Memphis in the early 1970s. A friend called in and I recorded it. If I still have the recording I will gladly share it with you.

@TeriFiferGA @otokyo @Matt_Pinner Still do sometimes

[- @TimStamps1]

@Ben280455292703 @otokyo @Matt_Pinner How about *still* receive TV stations transmitted over radio waves using the same old "rabbit ears" indoor antenna from the 1980s, adjusting the antenna as the signal goes in and out. Did it today. Believe it or not, it still exists.

[- @TimStamps1]

@PhindingMyWay @otokyo @Matt_Pinner I still do #28 - adjusting TV antenna. Believe it or not, but, free over-the-air broadcast TV still exists. It's just encoded digitally but works like the old analog TV.

[- @TimStamps1]

@otokyo @Matt_Pinner Filmed with a Super-8 movie camera, and/or 8mm film camera, and knows the difference between each format.
Operated a Super-8/8mm projector.
Operated a 16mm projector.

@Matt_Pinner Your confidence is shattered. All 20.
