1:32 King BIR didn't nerf King WTVK's crown like King WATE did

King BIR won due to his Syndication

It's a shameless rewrite of "She Says That She Needs Me", just as the rest of their LP cribs from golden era Beach Boys. But it's a pretty good one, so I'm fine with it.

Deserved more than they got, great live band.

1979: Wate abc affiliate channel 6 Wvlt ( volunteer tv ) NBC affiliate channel 26 Cable 8 Wbir cbs affiliate ch 10 1988: Wbir NBC affiliate channel 10 Wvlt volunteer tv cbs/abc affiliate channel 26 Cable 8 Wate channel 6 abc/NBC affiliate

The next two people in line for King Witvik's throne (WTVK-TV 26, 1953-1988): * King Wixty (WKXT-TV 8, 1988-1997) * King Volt (WVLT-TV 8, 1997-present)

Love this! My brother and sister-in-law’s band

I love the fact that almost every clip of Jim shows him hitting the floor. Hustle.

The real stuff.

WATE is now ABC

What about the Independent Tv stations?

1979: WTVK (Ch. 26) changed from ABC to NBC. WATE (Ch. 6) changed from NBC to ABC. WBIR (Ch. 10) remained with CBS. 1988: WBIR (Ch. 10) changed from CBS to NBC. WTVK (Ch. 26) changed from NBC to CBS. Swapped channels from 26 to 8 in 1988. WATE (Ch. 6) remained affiliated with ABC.

Omg. The memories, stop it. 15 year old me had no idea what would happen. I have now since graduated from a different high school.

This is the Best Jason line up (except we could use Todd Edmunds). Maki was the BEST. Jason Ricci at his Best!!!!

We should have a song like this about weed! I could play lead… no matter how stoned I get!

51:44…here I come with only spandex shorts on. Loved it.

When WROL came on the air in 1953 they were a radio station affiliated with NBC radio so they went with the NBC tv network, WTVK came on a few hours later and CBS went with them , since WTVK was a very weak station when WBIR came on the air in 1956 CBS moved to WBIR, in 1979 ABC became the number one network and wanted a stronger station in Knoxville since NBC was in third place WATE went with ABC, NBC became the number one network in the 80s and wanted a stronger station , by this time WTVK had won the rights to broadcast on channel 8 but had trouble switching signals and the switch to 8 was delayed , because of this plus WBIR dominating the local news NBC switched to WBIR , after the switch WTVK changed its calls letters to WKXT , in 1997 Gray Television bought WKXT and changed the call letters to WVLT

Turns out, WATE DID NOT become the winner as they said they would at the end. It was WBIR who became the BIG BIG BIG BIG winner. WBIR to this day has the largest news team in Eastern TN, and is consistently been the #1 news station in that area. as for WTVK, along with the move to CBS, they went through a few call letter changes, to WKXT and then to WVLT and a move to Channel 8 (somewhat short spaced to Atlanta-Athens GA (WGTV)) and would become in a heated 2nd place race with WATE.

Long locks on tha Spinetingler!

Great fun!

When did WVLT became a VHF station

I can't believe i came across this. I absolutely loved this place. The loft overlooking the stage was a great place to listen. Man, I miss it. Great video.

I enjoyed this video.

That was HILARIOUS! #LOL

1:50 King Bir had Forgotten how greed Caused King Wate's Kingdom to Crumple *CUE KING WATE'S KINGDOM BEING PIXELATED*

A luthier friend of mine makes guitars and all of them have that sound hole in the top side piece. He says that once you have played a guitar with that sound hole, you will never go back to playing a "normal" guitar . . .

so i saw this on facebook and i was not expecting this to sound good. the listing description made me laugh a bit but after hearing it, i can tell that this is truly a weird beautiful guitar. this is amazing, thank you for posting this.

Probably had an acoustic electric preamp in it where the new sound hole is located. I think for the soundboard damage, depending upon how bad it was, maybe use multi-ply pickguard material to repair it and it would've been fine for an unplugged acoustic ? Anyway, that ship sailed already, so it's a metal top.

Thanks for posting. I was a senior in Middleton HS band. Any other years posted?

I love this. I cannot stop watching! I wanna watch more the explorers club videos!!

Hate that I was out of town for that show

It was actually my worst year of highschool, but these people made it way better! God, how I wish I could still be in it! Wando Highschool choir is the bomb! Jupiter Highschool choir does not compare, never will. I know. I am degrading my school's choir, but I don't care. It is true.

This deserves more views...and an international award

This was from 1988...but they still used the pre-1986 NBC logo?

Evidently, the subject of this song is not an isolate phenomenon: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdqJZ7p8r73IaKc.html

Best quarantine song yet! Good to see Roger. Miss his radio show.

Thank you for posting this. My brother was a senior at The Citadel (trumpet, 8:58) and I was a sophomore at St. Andrew's HS (@41:59) This brings back such happy memories. Thank you.

Finally! New music from our favorite band: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lb57msWcvaynp6M.html

I love me some Roger Bellow 😍🤣

I did a video for Roger for his store a few years back kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdd0es-gzNK5lX0.html

Me gusta!

Well done...I feel you.

You captured my pain, brother....

Brilliant! Its got a George Jones vibe to it.

love this

Those were the days....

0:24 Ok so far its making sense in terms of the colored eggs, Gold Egg being ABC, Silver Egg being CBS, and Lead Egg being NBC (matching up with the Ratings of the networks around 1979) but at 1:02 when it says that the ABC would turn from Gold back to lead, that isn't true. Sure, in the 80's ABC wasn't #1, but they weren't in last place, that was CBS, so the ABC egg would have turned to Silver and the CBS egg would turn to Lead. At 1:14 its correct about the the NBC egg going from Lead to Gold (as NBC was seeing a huge comeback in the mid-late 80s) but at 1:19 WBIR 10 would not be the strongest in Television Land, as that CBS egg should be lead, so at 1:47 they are assuming the NBC egg would turn to lead again, but NBC will very quickly become the strongest network, and absolutely dominate in the 90s. So at the end they say WATE 6 would rule Television land again, but actually WBIR 10 would be the real winner as they have the strongest network, WTVK 26 (later Channel 8) would be the big loser with the bottom rated network, and WATE 6 would be in the happy middle ground. Btw this is all just talking about the Networks each channel had, not taking into account the ratings of Newscasts or Syndicated Programs Yeah, I just typed all that, I am THAT bored with this whole Coronavirus and "Shelter in Place" stuff going on as of 3-27-2020

In Knoxville the usually best ratings are: 1. WBIR 2. WATE (Somehow for whatever reason) 3. WVLT

I miss you all.
