...that WTVA TV station in Tupelo, Mississippi started broadcasting. I heard Al Roker say that this morning and congratulated them.I remember it well. I was a boy in NW Alabama. Everybody there with a TV could only pick up Birmingham or Memphis stations - barely. To us, all TV was snowy. Before that new station started - it was called WTWV then - they showed a test pattern with no sound for two weeks. Every family sat around and watched that test pattern. I'm serious. They would call in neighbors to show it to them. "Have you ever seen a picture that clear?!"
