THROWBACK: Channel 10 Show Open

Another Classic WHEC show open from the 1970's!

[@ScoopNemeth]

that WHEC news theme sounds like something out of a 70s porno movie

[@JHollowayNetwork]

this must be from about late 1979-early 1980.

@CelesteK - Don't know why - they must've got some incentives from the networks to do so. Before Rochester I lived in Schenectady, where all of their big 3 TV TV Stations played musical chairs with the networks. Channel 10 went from CBS to ABC; Channel 13 went from ABC to NBC; and Channel 6 went from NBC to CBS.

You stay classy, Rochester!

@CelesteK accordinding to wikipedia, WROC kept pre-empting their NBC programming, and NBC was very intolerate about stations preempting their network programs at the time, because NBC was the most watched network in those days.

Why did WHEC and WROC suddenly switch Network affiliations?

[@ericsamuelson5656]

In 1989, NBC was the #1 network on TV and WROC Ch 8 was dead last while the higher rated WHEC Ch 10 was affiliated with CBS and the eye network fell to dead last
