WGSF-TV News Update 5/8/2008
Greetings to all:
I am compiling all of the posts to the old WGSF Yahoo Groups list, and will be posting those comments in the WGSF Articles/Topics database as well. WGSF BLOG AND BLOG INFORMATION The WGSF Blog is especially intended for discussion. I will be constantly adding topics, so check often. Perhaps the best way to check out the categories available for blogging is to go to: http://oldgleaner.com/gleaner_b2evolution/blogs/blog1.php?disp=catdir Need more information about blogging? Note that there are two listings at the top right of the Blog pages "WGSF Blogs" and "Information" Click on "Information" for help getting started; or http://oldgleaner.com/gleaner_b2evolution/blogs/blog2.php You have several options to add to the discussion 1. The WGSF Blog - You don't have to be a registered member of the Blog to post comments, but it is so easy to sign up. Either way, as member or visitor, just click on the link at the bottom of each post that says "Feedback" You will get a page that invites you to leave comments. And - PLEASE leave comments! 2. You can send me direct e-mail. I have several working e-mail addresses. lhhubbell@oldgleaner.com lhhubbell@johnstown.net leek8mzh@yahoo.com 3. The WGSF e-mail reflector list may be used for comments that you wish all of the list members to see as an e-mail. Go to the WGSF Home page 4. The Yahoo Groups account is still active, and you may post to WGSF Yahoo Groups if you are a member (requires a Yahoo e-mail address) However, I prefer that you use one of the other methods, since only a few persons are still active there. The WGSF sites do have visitors, but the logs don't give names. I have listed some of the statistics for the WGSF Blog activity on the WGSF main web page. http://WGSF_Blog_statistics.html Remember - This is an active, on-going project, which hopes for - yes, expects!- your contributions. THE FUTURE IS COMING!
Noting that the Former WGSF Mobile TV Truck is now on display in Hilliard at the Early Television Foundation reminds me that we have not been successful in getting displays about WGSF set up in Newark. Neither The Works nor the Historical Society seems to be interested. I had an e-mail from Dan Wade about the 31 Reports backdrop, which he has stored away, wondering if it could be displayed somewhere. I also have a lot of goodies, which I would like to put on display. If not Newark, maybe Hilliard? I viewed parts of the Early Television Foundation convention Saturday, May 3, which was streamed on the internet. I think that Tom Miller was there, and I hope that he will give us a report. The "streaming" experience gives me another idea: Why not "stream" some of the old WGSF programs that we have on video tape. There were suggestions at one of the reunions about converting the VR-660 tapes to digital. The next step would naturally be to stream them on the internet. To check this service out (probably one of several available) go to: http://www.ustream.tv/ Just think about seeing "Wildcat Den" from the 70's. Maybe even John Hall doing a "Rotten Egg' Award. These streaming things/shows (whatever) are widely publicized on the web, and have a blog associated with the broadcast. What a way to continue broadcasting!!! I don't have either the time or especially the digitizing equipment at present, and maintaining the web site keeps me busy. But - Hey! sounds like an excellent future project.
