Welcome! I’m ntropolis, bringing you vintage broadcast TV airchecks from the Carolinas, Virginia and beyond.
I began collecting recordings of local broadcast television in 2003 when I stumbled upon some VHS tapes in my family's home. It was then I became fascinated with these windows to the past, and ever since, I've obtained hours worth of local TV presentation through the years. I've also made my own recordings of local newscasts in an effort to preserve the past. I hope you enjoy what you see on my channel! Be sure to subscribe so you'll be the first to know when I upload something new.

When Channel 9 really sent their best to us and really covered the Carolinas. Bill Walker and Suzanne Steven’s for 5, 6 and 11 and Cullen Ferguson and Debi Faubion for 5 and 6am.
The days of Raycom/Jefferson Pilot broadcasts of ACC football and basketball games... sadly, those games are now on the ESPN-run ACC Network, considered a "premium" channel by various carriers :(

10:28 Wait, WTKR already broadcast in HD at this point? Was it just the CBS programming or was it inclusive of local news?
@@charlesferrer9814 It’s a little misleading. I’m pretty sure all the local affiliates were doing digital at this point (the exception being WSKY) and at least most of them broadcasting network programming in HD, but WTKR was the only local station in HD on Cox. We didn’t get local news in HD until WAVY in 2008.
I found some info via VARTV.com archives. From September 2003… Cox initially offered six HD channels: WTKR, WHRO, ESPN, HBO, Showtime, and Discovery HD Theater. WTKR was “the only local news station” whereas WHRO did not have a local news department, so that’s how they were able to make that claim. But WTKR’s newscasts were not in HD until years later
@@ntropolis So they effectively tricked us into thinking they were going to air the news in HD in 2004. They could have just mentioned that only CBS shows would be in HD and not news. It’s just like the iHeart stations deceptively claiming that every station will air the Olympics on the radio but it’s only really going to be on their streams, with only mere hourly updates but never full coverage.
Keep it up

CHANNEL 13
Now a second-time NBC station.
This news open is from WCTI's Friday, April 14, 2006 11pm newscast. The Chilhowee Campground bear attack mentioned as one of the top headlines happened two days prior. A hint of the exact date also lies on the mention of the (holiday) weekend and the forecast tease at the start.
V/O works was done by Don LaFontaine, Alan Bleviss, Chuck Reilly and John Leader❗️❗️
25:05 The WB ID (it used archived footage from 1995)
Fun fact: WTAT carried UPN as a secondary affiliation 2 years from January 16, 1995 until January 5, 1997 when former WB affiliate WMMP joined UPN.
The WTAT-TV Fox 24 logo ran from 1993 to 1997.
June 2009? That’s the month and year Michael Jackson died, but the day was on the 25th.

Hard to believe it's been over TWENTY years since Hurricane Isabel. We were still fairly new to the Deep Creek area (about two years in), and this was the first time we ever had to evacuate our home. When we returned, it was pitch black outside. Streetlights had been knocked over into the streets, several places saw damage and power was out for a good while. I don't think I'll EVER forget that. Thanks for sharing this!

Long before being butchered by Scripps
Something tells me you don’t know too much about WTKR’s history! They were on top from sign-on until the 1980s… at that point, WAVY had success with The Daily News and Belo invested a lot in WVEC after purchasing Corinthian. WTKR got too comfortable and didn’t see the competition coming. The station’s downfall stems from March 28, 1985 when they fired Sandra Kelly, Stan Garfin and others in an attempt to revitalize the sleepy image the station’s newscasts had. Through the late 80s into the 2000s, WTKR experienced low ratings and high turnover… ownership changes (Knight-Ridder>Naragansett>NY Times>Local TV LLC) except for a period in the early 90s where they had some success. I’d say WTKR’s improved greatly in the past decade. As for the standardized graphics and Scrippscasts, etc. that’s just a symptom of an industry-wide struggle.
CBS Norfolk, Virginia affiliate WTKR, is now known as "News 3" as an on-air branding for its entertainment programming and newscasts. WTKR is now owned by the E.W. Scripps Company, along with their sister station WGNT which returns to an independent station in September.
