Yeah, doesn't surprise me. There used to be a show called Ask the
Manager on WSBK-38 in Boston, one of the early superstations, that had
good ratings with Hogan. "The show has legs", said manager Dan Berkery.
I remember him announcing on ATM that they would switch from 3/4" to 1"
versions of Hogan on a certain date, and difference was dramatic!
What a weird show, Hogan. I thought it was cute, harmless, enjoyable,
but a lot of people opposed it as gloifying the Nastys.
"No one touches the girl..."
I inherited about 1200 3/4" tapes of local programming. Someday, I'll
digitize it.
At the news network where I work (mostly server, but BetaCam until
recently) we have ONE 3/4" broadcast deck, in a dub rack.
