New York is too different from region to region for one statewide newscast to find traction. Upstate people hate downstate people; the (NYC) northern suburbs don’t care about anything or anyone other than Metro North; Long Islanders are too busy being stuck in traffic; and everyone hates Staten Island. I think the solution for WPIX is to move out of Midtown East, and move to Queens. Then, build a newscast and image that is New York City, other than Manhattan. Forget Manhattan news. Concentrate on the other four boroughs and their 7,000,000 residents. It’s harder to do, and requires some real outside the box work. But it would give New York something it doesn’t have: a newscast that resembles and reflects New York.

It will. I promise. I have a new account and I will be more careful this time, taking out a lot of the 'questionable' stuff, but the Yakima, Seattle, Kansas City, Dallas, etc. news recordings + commercials will be back! Tonight I should be able to throw 30 or 40 videos up from the old account. I started the VHS hobby about 7 or 8 years ago. I used to live in Snohomish County, north of Seattle. I moved out to Yakima in December 2013, and then to my current spot (Ellensburg, WA) in September 2019. This is one strange hobby for the general population, but in the end it's one that they will appreciate. Like I said, I've gotten replies from former Yakima TV employees thanking me for uploading videos, and it makes me smile.

I don't see that happening. It works in a small state like West Virginia but not in a big state like New York.

I miss NewsCenter 16.

They’ve had those on the 4pm already.

THIS! I thought I was the only one.

Hi folks! Brand new to this site, but I think a lot of you probably know me already. I'm Taylor, the operator of the VHSgoodiesWA channels on YouTube. You know me as the 'Yakima TV archiver'. Wanted to sadly inform you that I have lost my original (VHSgoodiesWA) account to the copyright buzzsaws on YouTube. About 40% of my Yakima newscasts are gone, as are the recordings I've found from other markets like Seattle, Kansas City and San Francisco. In addition, I lost my Dailymotion account this afternoon to the buzzsaws (likely Warner Bros, Dailymotion will NOT tell me) and I have a new copyright strike on VHSgoodiesWA3. The '4' account is fine...for now. SINCLAIR / COWLES / MORGAN MURPHY DID NOT TAKE DOWN MY ACCOUNT. It was Warner Bros for Street Smarts and Change of Heart episodes. They had been up at least five to six years before the WB buzzsaws got 'em. Can't find them in reruns or on a streaming app yet WB still wants to protect 21 year old game shows with no current way to find them on TV... With the fact that Sloan's account was also taken down recently, the copyright police have a lot more power over on YouTube lately. They are scrubbing accounts left and right for whichever TV shows they choose, even if those shows have not been on the air in 20 years, and have never been in reruns anywhere since... And recently we lost another one of the Pannoni accounts because ABC cracked down on their entire soap opera library. Try going to Disney+ and searching 'all my children 1989'. Classic Susan Lucci ain't up there. Soap fans loved when we could put those up. Then Disney said no more. I will be SLOWLY uploading everything to a brand new account. VHSgoodiesWA5. But eventually we may all have to ditch YT if they continue this. Internet Archive, anyone? I've been up there for years and no problems. Maybe starve them when they need us the most. They can have PewDiePie and the million-subscriber 'let's play' Roblox and Fortnite players. Don't worry. The KIMA, KNDO, KAPP and out-of-market stuff will be back...very soon. But it will be months before everything is uploaded again, maybe even early 2022. As a new user here, I will also link YT and Archive links whenever necessary to new content I find from Yakima and elsewhere. I've been doing this hobby for years and I love it. In fact I have gotten the attention of former staff members at the Yakima stations, thanking me for uploading newscasts or old commercials they remembered from years past. Rant over. RIP VHSgoodiesWA, 2015-2021.
