DucNguyen0131 · Jun 30, 2022

But, I wish channel 59, which served New Haven and Hartford, and also serving Albany, Schenectady and Troy, will be an affiliate of the Kapamilya Network.

Channel 38 in Terre Haute, which also served Indianapolis, Louisville and Lafayette, IN, will also too be a Kapamilya Network affiliate.
Let's do clean and improved on the Traverse City-Cadillac-Alpena-Marquette DMA:
3-WJMN (ABC) Marquette
Satellite stations:
29-WGTU (ABC) Traverse City-Cadillac

We'll CBS O&O WBZ-TV is scrapping Gari's "News Series 3000", in favor of letting Stephen Arnold to commission the "Signature" music package (OTL it was used by WBTV in 1990), and TTL the "Signature" music package would mix in the "I Love Chicago, Chicago's My Home" symbol to that package, since many CBS stations started slowly using the package. Similarity, WJIB and WNBC both launched concurrent music and graphic packages, all done by John Hegner.

But more satellites arrived on TV in anticipation of the next post:
Boston-Providence-Manchester:

2-WGBH (PBS) Boston
Satellite stations:
11-WGBN (PBS) Manchester
12-WGBP (PBS) Providence
57-WGBY (PBS) Springfield

4-WBZ (CBS) Boston

5-WCVB (FOX) Boston
Satellite station:
6-WLNE (FOX) Providence

7-WJIB (NBC) Boston
Satellite stations:
10-WJAR (NBC) Providence
22-WWLP (NBC) Springfield

9-WMUR (ABC) Manchester
Satellite stations:
69-WNEV (ABC) Providence
27-WBWM (ABC) Boston/Worcester
40-WGGB (ABC) Springfield-Holyoke

11-WPRI (TriNet) Providence
Satellite station:
56-WLVI (TriNet) Cambridge/Boston

13-WSBK (ATN) Boston
Satellite station:
28-WLWC (ATN) Providence

44-WGBX (PBS) Boston
Satellite station:
36-WGBZ (PBS) Providence

Channel 38 would end up being a Star Television Network station TTL, while channel 62 will be a HSN station TTL.

Washington-Baltimore-Salisbury-Hagerstown-Charlottesville-Harrisonburg:

2-WETA (PBS) Baltimore, also Washington, D.C.

4-WRC (NBC) Washington, D.C.
Satellite stations:
25-WHAG (NBC) Hagerstown
29-WVIR (NBC) Charlottesville

5-WTTG (FOX) Washington, D.C.

DucNguyen0131 · Jul 1, 2022

Nice! To promote their post about their 1950s DMA mergers, I'll make a better rendition of the Pennsylvania DMA:

I'll go with Pittsburgh/Johnstown/Altoona/State College/Wheeling/Steubenville/Youngstown:

2-KDKA (CBS) Pittsburgh
4-WTAE (ABC) Pittsburgh
5-WJAC (NBC) Johnstown
7-WTRF (ATN) Wheeling
9-WTOV (TriNet) Steubenville
11-WPXI (FOX) Pittsburgh
13-WQED (PBS) Pittsburgh

Because 3, 6, 8, 10 and 12 are unavailable due to Cleveland-Columbus-Zanesville, Philadelphia-Scranton-Wilkes Barre-Harrisburg and Clarksburg-Weston-Charleston-Huntington-Parkersburg using the method, I'll utilize channel 5 for Johnstown, which easily covered Pittsburgh.

I'll go with Wilkes Barre-Scranton-Hazelton-Harrisburg-Lancaster-Lebanon-York-Philadelphia:

3-KYW (NBC) Philadelphia
6-WPVI (ABC) Philadelphia
8-WGAL (FOX) Lancaster
10-WCAU (CBS) Philadelphia
12-WHYY (PBS) Wilmington
15-WLYH (ATN) Lebanon
17-WPHL (TriNet) Philadelphia

I'll make channel 21, which covered Harrisburg, and too covered Scranton and Philadelphia an affiliate of the Star Television Network.

Regarding Michigan, I'll better making Flint-Saginaw-Bay City-Lansing-Detroit-Toledo:
2-WJBK (CBS) Detroit
4-WDIV (NBC) Detroit
5-WNEM (FOX) Flint
7-WJLA (ABC) Detroit
9-WTVS (PBS) Detroit
11-WTOL (TriNet) Toledo
13-WTVG (ATN) Toledo

Because the fact channels 6 and 10 are unavailable in Lansing due to Madison-Milwaukee-Grand Rapids and Cleveland-Akron-Canton-Columbus using it, and channel 12 was unavailable in Flint due to Grand Rapids-Milwaukee-Madison and Cleveland-Akron-Canton-Columbus are already using it.

FOX, CTV and Rhythm Radio had made invitation to attend the 30th Anniversary Telecast of the Miss Universe Pageant from the Shubert Theatre at 2020 Avenue of the Stars in Los Angeles, CA on April 15, 1990 and for the First Time it aired for 3 Hours.

Tony Charmoli directed this Live Telecast along with Producer Sid Smith however the Pageant Alliance has assembled their Broadcast Crews for this Telecast.

Host for All 3 Networks on Stage: Dick Clark (Who will Host the Challengers in September on FOX)

Color Commentators
FOX: Joe Buck, Leeza Gibbons & Margaret Gardiner (Announcer: John Harlan)
CTV: Fergie Oliver, Dominique Dufour & Karen Baldwin (Announcer: Dave Duvall)
Rhythm Radio: Steve Physioc, Michelle Tafoya & Courtney Gibbs (Announcer: Jay Michaels)

Note: Beginning Next Year, Margaret Gardiner will now switch to Color Commentator for Rhythm Radio's Coverage of the 1991 Miss USA Pageant from Wichita, KS more details when we get there.

However 72 Young Women from Around the World along with their Troupe which mostly made up of The Pageant Alliance-Caliber Contestants who had competed in Miss USA and Miss Canada along with some Miss Teen USA as well as their contestants who competed in State Pageants (Including Miss Teen USA 1989 Brandi Sherwood) as well as the first Miss Universe Delegate from the USSR (Evia Stalbovska) sang "Come On" in their National Costumes to open the show, However that song will later be used the Cover the 1990 NASCAR Coca-Cola All-Star Race on FOX and it took place on May 20, 1990.

However Some of the Troupe Members are wearing State Costumes to see what might've been had they worned on March 2nd, since they didn't wore them in the Opening like Charita Moses (who represented Tennesee in the Miss USA 1990 Pageant) honored the 1990 College Football National Champion Tennessee Volunteers wearing a Uniform with their hero Andy Kelly on QB, Karla Myers (Miss Illinois USA 1990) wore a Chicago Cubs Uniform honoring the 1989 World Series Champion Chicago Cubs, Jennifer Lopez (who will later become a Fly Girl on In Living Color) wore a New York Islanders inspired outfit to honor the 1989 Stanley Cup Championship Team and Merl Lyn Buker (Miss Indiana USA 1990) wore an Racing Themed Outfit inspired by the Indianapolis 500 in which she uses her Color Guard Style Flag Movements during the Opening and the Delegate Intros.

However Dick Clark Enters and the Pageant celebrate it's 30 years on Television (26 on CBS and 4 on FOX) and the Girls introduced themselves as the Girls Starting "Dancing in the Street" (originally sung by Martha and the Vandellas) and "Dance To The Music" (originally sung by Sly & The Family Stone) but in the end the winner of the Best National Costume was announced on Tonight's Telecast as determined by the judges who will be introduced later in the show and it's Lizeth Mahecha (from Colombia) before the 1st Commercial Break Had Started

In according to Joe Buck, "They are 600 Million Viewers are watching on Television from Around The World" however 10 Semi-Finalists were announced alongside Leeza Gibbons and Margaret Gardiner before the 2nd Commercial Break went off.

Nicholas (Lead Singer of the Commodores), Princess Maria of Borbon and Steve Allen (Creator of The Tonight Show and Husband of Jayne Meadows)

Then Following the Next Commercial Break, The Semifinalists switched to their After 5 Dresses for the Interviews in 2 Parts before they move on to the Swimsuit Competition but in the end Norway won both Interview and Swimsuit as they get ready to go to Halftime for a Costume Change in our Musical Number but before they go to Commercial the New Miss Universe Will Win a Prize Package worth nearly $250,000 and will make an Appearance on a FOX TV Show later in the Year plus a One Week Vacation in a Penthouse Suite from the Century Plaza Hotel and Towers, A Brand New Avanti Convertible (which is worth $53,000), A Sharpvision LCD Video Projection System, A Minolta Video Camera, VCR and Camera, A Black Llama Mink Coat and Mink Jacket from Flemington Furs and a whole more in which all this were set to Linear's "Sending All My Love" in which it will be later used as the Starting Grid Music for NASCAR on FOX's Coverage for the Coca-Cola All-Star Race on May 20th as well.

And Then After the Next Commercial Break, HALFTIME!: Yep, It's Halftime in Hollywood as we honor Hollywood which will all honor The Movie Musicals of Hollywood with the Ladies who starred in those Movie Musicals in Hollywood with the Reigning Miss Universe Angela Visser, But that production number is Epic so they could end up winning an Emmy Award For This (It Did Happened ITTL for the Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special beating out ABC celebrating 60 Years of Sammy Davis, Jr.)

Now on to the Evening Gown Competition, In Which the Little Sisters serenaded the 10 Semi-Finalists and then after the Evening Gown Competition we've whittled down to the Final Six and they are Colombia (Lizeth Mahecha), Bolivia (Rosario del Pilar Rico Toro), Mexico (Marile del Rosario Santiago), Norway (Mona Grudt), Chile (Urania Haltenhoff) and USA (Carole Gist)

Mexico (Marile del Rosario Santiago) - Martin Ransohoff

And Now a Look Back Elsewhere from 1989-1990

The 1990 Miss Teen Canada Pageant did broadcasted on FOX in the USA, CTV in Canada and Syndicated on the Radio Dial on Rhythm Radio on March 5, 1990 under the dictatorship of Miss USA 1975, Summer Bartholomew however the Opening Number song turned out to be theme music to the 1990 NASCAR Comcast Grand National Series Coverage on FOX except they were sung by all 42 Miss Teen Canada Contestants as well as their Troupe including a handful of 1990 Miss Teen USA Contestants who are in the Pageant Alliance as part of the Troupe including our Border Friends that touch the US-Canada Boundary who are going to be contested in July consisting of Marla Johnson (Alaska), Paige Anderson (Washington), Jody Walker (Idaho), Stephanie Wallace (Montana), Sherry Bernardis (North Dakota), Jennifer Bell (Minnesota), Erica Weber (Michigan), Heather Wilpert (Ohio), Susan Barnett (Pennsylvania), Catherine Bliss (New York), Sarah McFall (New Hampshire), Gessica Tortolono (Vermont) & Michelle Grenier (Maine) as well as some from the 1989 Miss Teen USA Pageant including the Reigning Queen, Brandi Sherwood from Idaho.

Later in that night's telecast, 16 Year Old Deborah Cox who performed as part of the 1990 Miss Teen Canada Troupe performed Rhythm Nation (that was sung by Janet Jackson) and is backed by her fellow Troupe Members and all 42 Contestants, Then all the girls sang "Pump Up The Jam" (which was sung by Technotronic) in the Exercise Outfits and then they sang "Walking on Air" (which was sung by Samantha Fox) however the Night Ended when Miss Niagara Region (ON), Tonya Goss won the Crown as the entire girls sang "Simply The Best" (which was sung by Tina Turner)

The Night After The Miss Teen Canada Pageant is Televised: The Vancouver Cascades of Major League Baseball used one of the songs from the Miss Teen Canada Pageant "Walking on Air" which is used as the Official Theme Song of the 1990 Team that won the World Series however that song was used as the 8th Inning Sing-Along for the Team but That's Not All they've also used "Simply The Best" whenever the Vancouver Cascades win a Game.

However Following their World Series Victory, A Big Parade took place to celebrate the 1990 World Series Champions which took place in the Streets of Downtown Vancouver following by a victory parade in which over 100,000 people sang "Walking on Air" by The 1990 Miss Teen Canada Pageant Contestants and Troupe to celebrate the Championship Team.

However Several Other Teams used "Walking On Air" by 1990 Miss Teen Canada Pageant Contestants and Troupe, I'll Explain More when we get to the Next 13 Weeks of #1's on Rhythm Radio and more.

We'll as a demonstration for the upcoming TL regarding 1950s DMA mergers, here's what Los Angeles/Fresno/Bakersfield do as of 1990:
2-KCBS (CBS)
4-KNBC (NBC)
5-KTLA (FOX)
7-KABC (ABC)
9-KCAL (ATN)
11-KTTV (TriNet)
13-KCET (PBS)

In that TTL scenario: In 1959, in an offer what Paramount Pictures can't refuse, Metromedia buys KTLA and succeeds (here in OTL, they bought out KTTV in 1963). In 1958, after bidding for NAFI Corporaiton, KCOP was donated to a non-commercial license and relaunched channel 13 as KCET, which also received a second signal on channel 28, in 1964, as KCEX. In 1963, The Los Angeles Times would sell KTTV to a 50-50 joint venture between Golden West Broadcasters and WGN Inc, whereas the latter carried independent content produced for the Tribune sisters WPIX, WGN, KDAL and by 1966, KWGN.

And as another demonstration for an upcoming TL regarding 1950s DMA mergers, here's what Detroit/Toledo/Flint/Lansing do as of 1990:
2-WJBK (CBS)
4-WDIV (NBC)
5-WNEM (FOX)
7-WDTF (ABC)
9-WTVS (PBS)
11-WTOL (TriNet)
13-WTVG (ATN)

In 1954, the Nielsens are combining the DMAs of Detroit, Toledo, Flint and Lansing, citing close proximity of the four cities. After Hearst bought out The Washington Star on 1954, Hearst announced that they would trade WMAL-AM-FM-TV to ABC in 1955 in exchange for WXYZ-AM-FM-TV, when Hearst already owned WBAL-AM-FM-TV in Washington/Baltimore, one of the nation's top independents (the FCC couldn't keep two stations), and ABC rechristened the Washington stations as WXYZ-AM-FM-TV, while giving the Detroit stations as WDTF-AM-FM-TV (for Detroit, Toledo and Flint).

stratonapba · Jul 3, 2022

@Duc4AlternateHistory: Great Idea on the Next TL, However In Life After the Black Sox, KTLA is still TriNet but in my 2nd TL, KTLA will be FOX, also Major League Baseball will exist as the United Baseball League (UBL), The National Football League will exist as the National Football Association (or NFA), The National Hockey League will exist as the American Hockey Association (or AHA) and NASCAR will exist as the United Stock Car Racing Association (or USCRA).

Speaking of the Life After the Black Sox-Verse for TriNet: TriNet's Dancin' On Air aired a Special Prom Episode on April 25, 1990

Regulars Who Hosted the Episode: Heather Day (a.k.a. Princess), Bobby Catalano, Cindy Stark, Chris Bustard and Amy Brady.

And Also When the 90's Continued to Progress: A Couple of UPN's Programs IOTL will go ATN, While A Couple of WB's Programs IOTL will go TriNet ITTL.

DucNguyen0131 · Jul 3, 2022

Great! @stratonapba , when the timeline is finished, we will planning on to go to a 1950s DMA timeline. Here's a demonstration, for the Washington-Baltimore DMA as of 1990:
2-WETA (PBS)
4-WRC (NBC)
5-WTTG (FOX)
7-WXYZ (ABC)
9-WTOP (CBS)
11-WBAL (TriNet)
13-WJZ (ATN)

The demonstration's scenario: In 1954, the Washington Post Company sold its share of WTOP Inc. to CBS, which made WTOP-AM-FM-TV a network O&O. In 1954, the Hearst Corporation bought out The Washington Star. Due to FCC's rules prohibit a television-radio duopoly at that time, Hearst opted to keep WBAL-AM-FM-TV, and put WMAL-AM-FM-TV up for trade. In 1955, Hearst traded WMAL-AM-FM-TV to ABC in exchange for obtaining WXYZ-AM-FM-TV in Detroit, and the Washington station was rechristened WXYZ-AM-FM-TV, while the Detroit stations were renamed to WDTF-AM-FM-TV. In 1962, ABC introduced the "Circle 7" logo to major-market stations WABC-TV in New York, KABC-TV in Los Angeles, WBKB-TV in Chicago, KGO in San Francisco and WXYZ-TV in Washington, D.C., and in 1968, WABC introduced the "Eyewitness News" format to WABC-TV in New York, along with the "Tar Sequence" cue from Cool Hand Luke, which in 1969, KABC-TV, WLS-TV (renamed from WBKB-TV), KGO-TV and WXYZ-TV adopted the format. In 1994, Hearst would end up exiting the TV business, by selling KNTV and WBAL to Tribune Broadcasting.

And another 1950s DMA demonstration for the next TL: San Francisco-San Jose-Eureka-San Jose:
2-KTVU (FOX)
4-KFOG (NBC)
5-KPIX (CBS)
7-KGO (ABC)
9-KQED (PBS)
11-KNTV (TriNet)
13-KCTR (ATN)

The demonstration's scenario: In 1954, the San Francisco, San Jose, Eureka and San Jose DMAs are going to be merged. In 1954, KIEM-TV became an independent station, which was sold in 1955 to RKO General and renamed it to KFRC-TV, to match its co-owned radio station, and moved up to channel 13. In 1955, the San Francisco Examiner bought out KNTV. In 1968, as the deYoungs decided to break up their media empire, and forced that KRON-FM-TV was sold off to General Electric, which relaunched both stations in 1969 as KBAY-FM-TV, and in 1974 as KFOG-FM-TV to match its newly acquired KFOG-AM, while the Scripps bought out many of the other deYoung assets (in 1986, KFOG-TV became a NBC O&O via its acquisition of the network by General Electric). When the RKO feared that they would strip its licenses of WOR-TV in New York, KHJ-TV in Los Angeles, WNAC-TV in Boston and KFRC-TV in San Francisco by the 1970s, KFRC-TV, WOR-TV and KHJ-TV was sold itself in 1985 to Chris-Craft Industries, which was rechristened as KCTR-TV (for California 13).

@stratonapba We'll that would be great, but Sanchez-Caputo Productions, who produced a defunct ABC soap Soltaire, is proposing a Fox soap Newport, by March 11, 1991, as well as a new game show Studs, which will debut March 11, 1991, in daytime, and a nighttime version of the show will debut September 7, 1991 as a 5-days a week 7:30pm show to replace The Challengers.

But after you reach 2022, and as a demonstration for the 1950s DMA merger post, here's what the Boston-Providence-Manchester-Springfield DMA as of 1990:
2-WGBH (PBS)
4-WBZ (ABC)
5-WCVB (FOX)
6-WCVI (FOX) Providence satellite of WCVB
7-WEEI (CBS)
9-WMUR (ATN)
10-WJIB (NBC)
11-WJIX (NBC) Manchester/Boston satellite of WJAR
12-WGBN (PBS) New Hampshire satellite of WGBH
13-WGBP (PBS) Providence satellite of WGBH

TTL's scenario: In 1952, Boston and Providence are merging their DMAs. After doing short-spacing between WJAR and WPIX, WJAR moved to channel 10, with a satellite launched for channel 11 for the convenience of Manchester viewers, WJAM-TV. In 1957, WHDH-TV launched as an independent outlet and later launched a satellite station, WTEV in Providence in 1963 and buys out WJZB in Worcester in 1974. In 1972, after a long court battle, WHDH-TV and its Providence and Worcester satellites lost to Boston Broadcasters, which in 1977, sold themselves to Metromedia, which then put KMBC-TV for sale (the buyer was LIN Broadcasting). After the FCC ruled grandfathered hearings, the Outlet Company then sells out WJAR-AM-TV to General Electric in 1973, who owned its existing New England FM station WJIB-FM and became WJIB-AM-TV. WJIB-TV and WJIX-TV in New England would became a NBC O&O by 1986, along with KFOG-TV in San Francisco and KCNC-TV in Denver. In 1982, after RKO lost the license, Meredith Corporation bought out WRKO-AM-FM and WNAC-TV in Boston. As a compensation for the funding of the KVVU-TV purchase in 1985, Meredith then sells out WRKO-AM-FM-TV to CBS and became WEEI-AM-FM-TV, while selling the existing WEEI 590 and WHTT-FM radio stations to Clear Channel Communications.
