WQEX Sign Offs (1990s) YouTube video by The Media Stash

A unique series of 1990s-era sign-offs from the former sister TV station of Pittsburgh's #PublicBroadcasting station, WQED; #WQEX (1986-97).

From looking at older clips, WQEX was different than its sister station WQED & many Public TV stations at the time. #TVSky youtu.be/h1snSrSRHkc?...

Like many, my Father & I are very concerned/worried & outraged.

To all my fellow wonderful friends: Again, in case you are in search of a good friend to talk to, you all are more than welcome to converse with me.

Curse the disgusting/putrid sleazebags known as Drumpf, M***rat & their ilk.

Public Broadcasting/Public Media is important and essential to everyone.

So has anybody seen ANY active duty military members defying orders since this war is OBVIOUSLY unconstitutional?

no?

Well, let's put the whole "remember your oaths to the Constitution" shtick to rest. The military isn't saving us.

The Best of Marcel Marceao (sic).

The disc contains nineteen minutes of silence and a minute of applause on each side. The album was released in 1970 by MGM Records as a joke record.

Traces of Texas reader Jan Adamson graciously shared this late 1970s photo of the Oasis Drive-In in Lubbock, as taken by Jan. It looks like the kind of place where you could maybe get a good chili-cheese dog and some tater tots ---- in other words, heaven. Thank you, Jan. This is really super!

Insert sleeve to the Sergio Mendes album showcases tiny album covers of other A&M records you can buy.

Have YOU purchased all 72 of these A&M vinyl records?!?

(Honestly, I have 10 of them.)

Now Playing: Greatest Hits by Sérgio Mendez & Brasil '66 (A&M, 1970)

A little light Latin for a snowy afternoon.

I don't wanna tell you your business, Sérgio, but it's time to upgrade to a new Brasil '71 with whitewall tires.

Farewell to one of the greats of local TV news — Ernie Anastos (1943-2026).

The Emmy-winning anchor man was a daily fixture on New York TV for more than 40 years.

I've come here to listen to bubblegum pop and kick ass and I'm all out of...oh, here's plenty of bubblegum pop right here on this record. Thanks, Hardees*!

In case you didn't know, N95s or better (so not cloth or surgical masks) protect the wearer even when no one else is masking!

There are studies!
Also I've been the only one masking in most situations over the last 3 years and haven't gotten sick once.

I promise it works!

Congress has expanded work requirements for SNAP food assistance recipients. State officials estimate that as many as 400,000 residents could be pushed out of the program. Here’s a list of food pantries to turn for help.
