Ok boomerIt kinda sucks to realize that was 50 years ago.
I proudly resemble that remark!Ok boomer
I remember those days well. I lived in the Johnstown area so getting Channel 4 on the antennae was hit or miss. The screens were so fuzzy and at times all you could see were shapes. When I was stationed in England my parents would tape the games and send them to us. I still have them and when I showed my son he couldn't believe we watched it. lolI was 7. All I remember really is watching it through a sometimes snowy screen. We didn't have cable, so you'd have to go out and turn the antenna. Weather would impact that. The worse game for that I remember was the Bills playoff game a few weeks earlier. You'd try to watch..."There went a Steeler helmet...there is a Bills helmet." Had I been older and understood more I would have been losing my mind.
I can relate …I remember those days well. I lived in the Johnstown area so getting Channel 4 on the antennae was hit or miss. The screens were so fuzzy and at times all you could see were shapes.

We had a long pole down the side of the house and you could turn the pole which would move the antenna. My sister got sent out when sports were on, but I had to go out whenever one of her dumb shows was on.I can relate …
Steelers were always on NBC those days..
I grew up in East End of the Burgh.
Unfortunately channel 11 didn’t come in worth a crap most of the time... And believe it or not channel 6 out of Johnstown actually came through better than 11!
Although .. that depended on the wind and weather lol..
We used to go on the roof before we got a rotor for the antenna, and move it by hand until my Pops yelled out the window to stop!
That was very dangerous.. especially in winter during football season!
You're right, it was 11. Channel 4 had Joe Dinardo the weather man, correct? Joe said it would!I can relate …

If I recall correctly, channels 11, 2, 4, 35 and 53 with some antenna movement. I recall Chilly Billy on weekend nights, Dad let me stay up to watch scary movies.You're right, it was 11. Channel 4 had Joe Dinardo the weather man, correct? Joe said it would!
You're not 50!!!It kinda sucks to realize that was 50 years ago.
I was 2 but I have a great memory...I was one year old. Don't remember that one.

You're right, and I wish I was. I think I was 8 when that game was played. I don't really recall watching a Super Bowl before that game, but I probably did. I think my first real recollection of watching any football game was the Immaculate Reception game.You're not 50!!!

I was ninth grade.
I guess I'm old but I'm still here.
Besides channels 2, 4, 11 , and 53, there was PBS on 13.
There was one out of Steubenville that we could get with a little snow. I was in McCandless/ Franklin Park area so that helped.

Yea, you're right, the PBS channel was on 13. We blew that channel off once out of Sesame Street days.I was ninth grade.
