Ooooh… I only knew it as the station code WPIX
I had forgotten. A close-up view of the station logo, and a tone piercingly loud, to wake those that had drifted off in front of the tube.
And not to brag, which obviously is a lie, but I used to watch Elvira, LIVE, host her Horror Theatre. It was a UHF channel, mysterious and strange, from L.A. , even more so.
One more thing. Can anyone recall hearing: “It’s 11:00P.M. Do you know if your Teen-ager is home?” every night, all the summer long, till about '68 or so…
I remember the star spangled banner getting played around 3 or 4am for sign off

I remember just before sign off the editorial would play.
I remember all of that.
More TV trivia:
My oldest brother used to watch ‘Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman’. Took me a while to see what the draw was.
Then when we first had cable TV installed the tuner was a “slider box” wired to the tv. Fuzzy blocked channels resting the slider between channels.
I remember sticking a butter knife to jam the switch so we could pick up HBO.

I remember the lead-in for ‘Mayberry, RFD’. It looked great. They were going fishing!
And I remember the disappointment. Almost never did they go fishing. Instead, they would discuss Aunt Bea’s pickles, or Barney’s sole cartridge for his service revolver, something pointless to a pre-teen. I watched the original ‘Batman’ episodes, the first season to the last. The Bat Light, it was REAL, but generally just led to a car-lot. The Addams Family and the Munsters were great friends, some nights they would come through my closet and invite me home to visit. Beat the hell out of Mayberry.
The first color tv I ever saw was either ‘The Lucille Ball Show’, or ‘The Wizard of Oz’. Quite a change it was, but I barely recall it happening.

That was my job prior to the remote! We had 4 channels in southern Maine which included PBS. 82’ was a good year with us getting cable and MTV.
After Saturday cartoons there was monster theater that played nothing but B grade scary films, but I watched it anyways.

Had to get up and take a walk to change the volume too!!

Best thing to do is buy a bigger SSD drive and clone it to the new drive… some SSD come with cloning software. Windows can also migrate to new hardware. Search for ‘migrate settings’ in help. Basically you run the migrate, it will ask where to save the settings apps etc. to the drive (doesn’t matter what drive it’s just used to transfer). Then shutdown install new hard drive, and run migrate settings again this time as the TO computer, it will prompt for location of settings and files etc… and move everything to new drive. Voila, done. Cloning is better in my opinion because some things can get missed. MS settings is mostly for data and some applications, so 3rd party apps MS does not know about can get overlooked. I went through what you are trying to a while ago… it’s not daunting at all. The BEST way is a cold clone. That means you boot with a CD, run the clone from the CD and clone from one drive to the other… but by far the best way is NOT to move data or apps to another drive (that is time consuming and cumbersome) just upgrade your C: drive (or primary) to a bigger capacity drive and you are golden… plus the new SSD are faster and more efficient.
