1980's Local UHF Research Project

[RedKing]

hey Gang,
I recently have started a project i have wanted to do for years-I am researching old local papers and documenting the local UHF monster/exploitation shows that were on in the 1980s when i was a teen. We had 2 UHFs in the Capitol region here in New York State, WXXA 23 that started in August 1982 and had 2 monster shows-Theater Bizarre which aired at various times and showed 1-3 movies every Friday, and Saturday Matinee which every saturday at 4pm would show monster flicks. WUSV 45 started in late 1984 and only lasted about 5 years, but they showed quite a few movies-Saturday afternoon Drive-In theater at 1 and 3pm,Chiller Theater(not the same as WPIX 11's) in 84/85 and Monsterpiece theater in 85-87 on Saturday night at midnight, Elvira's original Movie Macarbe on saturday night at 9pm and Bad Cinema on Sunday nights at midnight in 85-87 that showed alot of monster and sci-fi movies. I need to find a second source because the one I am using is incomplete-1982 and 1983 were missing a greta deal of issues, but '84 was fairly complete. I have just started 1985 today. I have seen several similar lists for shows like this from NYC and Chicago and always wanted to compile one from my area. Anyone else ever undertaken a similar project?

 I have two UHF channels you can add to your project. Back in the late 60's / early 70's here in Philadelphia, we had 2 UHF stations that showed monster movies on saturday afternoons.
