Only saw a black pentagon where camera had missed picture. I may not be seeing something, though.

This is the same station that used to have the Lucky 13 promotions on Friday the 13th during the 80's.

Just so the do not pay the staff in Main Kwong meal tickets.
They have been running a lot of Elkview ponderosa spots, wonder if that is a trade-out?

This start date is IF the servers work. Perhaps they've learned from the WVMH northern division?

Apparently today is not the day.
WOWK-TV is in glorious 4:3 format, albeit with some combination of squashed and stretched pictures.
Same crappy set. Something didn't meet deadline.
Imagine, Kim Yong-un and Bray Cary both had failures this week.

I even woke up at 4:30am, recorded every newscast to patiently see the arrival of WOWK HD. Must still have some technical kinks to work through at World Headquarters.
