Before it became the foundation of Fox Television and switched it's call letters to WNYW, a little taste of what I grew up with Wink...

 

Original Raymond Burr Godzilla, Campy Toho Company Godzilla and friends, King Kong films, Planet of the Apes films, Kung Fu films galore including young Jackie Chan and just about anything from the Shaw Brothers, classic "suspense" horror films of vampires, Frankenstein's monster, mummies, the Blob, Creature from the Black Lagoon, with stars like Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi, Peter Lorre, films by Ed Wood, Johnny Weissmuller's Tarzan films, classic B&W Zorro films... in a way, by the channel becoming Fox, it was quite a loss.

Then do you remember these promos?

 

It's a shame those in charge didn't take a hint from this scene:

 

I want my skyline back.

 

...Hell, the whole planet forgot the "Not to yield." part.

The towers fell before it was scheduled to first air. Naturally they pulled it completely in response. I remember seeing mention of it on the news at the time. I've never seen the whole thing myself till posting it. When news broke there were screen shots and 5 second video glimpses but you couldn't find the whole thing. As time went on you couldn't find anything on it. Now enough time has passed that the full version has been posted. Been wanting to see that for 13.5 years. This thread reminded me to look for it again.
