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
