Any of the old timers remember when there were independent TV stations?There were a few in the Detroit area while I was a kid: WKBD channel 50, and WGPR channel 62. Channel 50 was where the cartoons were shown, and every morning before school I'd tune in. Sometimes when I was up early enough I would see the national anthem being played as they were signing in for the day, then some bald guy in a suit (probably the station manager or owner) would come on talking about their station, how it does good for the community, blah blah blah. Us kids would laugh because I swear to God, this guy's head was really weird shaped. It was like the top of his skull almost came to a sort of a point.
