I figured it out. It was my anti-virus software. I have BitDefender, and when I uninstalled it, I was able to access the site again. Sometimes, BitDefender gets messed up a few days after I install it, and I have to reinstall it when that happens. Probably should've kept my Norton subscription.

Not sure if there was already a discussion on this, but does anyone happen to know why the News Music Search Archive has been down for weeks? I wonder if they got hit with copyright issues? This is the message I keep getting when I go to the site.

Fox NFL pregame host Curt Menefee has been named co-host of Good Day New York, effective January 16. https://nypost.com/2024/01/07/sports/fox-nfls-curt-menefee-joining-good-day-new-york-as-co-host/

Hi folks, your old pal Steve here. I came back once again to share with you an email that was sent to me from our friend Scott Kimmell regarding some of the post-2010 Hearst Corporation material being taking down from his YouTube channel, including the WGAL material me and a friend donated to him for use on his channel. Here's his response. "WGAL filed a copyright takedown of the October 2023 morning news broadcast. This has resulted in a copyright strike. It will be removed in 90 days. There was no specific part of the video that was targeted, rather it was the entire newscast claimed by WGAL. To be on the safe side, I have privatized all of the WGAL uploads that stem from after 2010. The earlier broadcasts (1989, 1999, and 2006) are still up. I've done similar things to the uploads of the other Hearst-owned stations on my channel, including WLWT, WTAE, WVTM, WISN, WBAL, KSBW, and KQCA. The copies posted of WGAL and other Hearst stations will remain on the Internet Archive for now, unless I get a notice from them." Geez, I never expected WGAL and Hearst to force other YouTubers take down some of their videos on YouTube. Makes me wonder if other broadcasters will eventually follow suit.

Direct from my growing VHS collection, and uploaded by Mr. Scott Kimmell (aka NewsActive3), here is a WGAL Newscast from April 10, 1989.

Does anybody know who composed the 'Best of The Class' theme? I'm talking about the theme that was used to profile High-School graduates on thousands of TV stations across the country.

I didn't really hear about it anywhere, It's just that when you hear the theme, you can tell it was from him. Check out this video and you'll see what I mean.

Didn't Sheldon Elias also do the WBBM 1988 Package? I surprised that it wasn't mentioned.
