I use a VHF/UHF black and white televion. No cable. (Way to expensive!)

Can someone please give me a list of all of the channels/Stations I
should be able to pick up in the Queens/NY area? Including other near
by states that broadcast to NY?

I turn on the TV this evening and while turning the channels I noticed
channel 25 came in very clear.

I am not familier with this channel 25. As I am watching it while I
type this, I am waiting for station identification. But because they
are broadcasting from live Times Square, I have not heard station ID as
of yet.

Well, I hope free TV continues in the future!

I remember a few years ago on channel 13 (PBS), sometimes they would
give these old government program to educate the public (probably from
the early 1970's) about illegal drugs. It was on late at night. The
footage was done on film not video, and the audio was badly worpped.

The program would often have a doctor explaining how dangerous illegal
drugs were, and he would show awful photographs of people.

Does anyone remembers these programs? When did day started to put them
on TV? Why did they stop playing them on TV? Who made them? Who
sponsored them? What there they called? Were they played throughout
the US?

Don't blame me. I voted for Gore.

I especially like those old World War Two informational and World War
Two training movies and and World War Two era movies with actual combat
footage in them.I should see about collecting some of them.

"Round, Round, Out of Your Mind,
You think you're seeing things
I know you're blind
A million bright colors explode in your head
Today, you're just high, tomorrow you're DEAD."

That was the theme song from an anti-LSD film, it also got some
top-40 airplay (probably from government payola).

They played them at school assemblys in the late 60's.
(VCRs were a big $$$ ticket item back then, no home video
existed. So educational stuff was all on film).
