WJZB-TV Channel 14 (was Re: WMUR)

[Peter Q. George]

It's funny that you would mention about WJZB-TV.
Channel 14 has always interesting hobby of sorts for
me.  So much in fact (and NO, I did NOT buy the
company ;))..  I did make a rather extensive exhibit
on WWOR/WJZB at the UHF Morgue, and I also had started
a tribute site on Channel 14, by itself.  It's rather
preliminary, mind you,  but I think I am going to get
it going again.  I've already had some help from Jeff
McMahon (who actually LIVED on Asnesbumskit with his
family, while his late Dad was the engineer of Channel
14).  I'm definately going to reactivate the tribute
site ASAP.  If you want to check it out just click on
