Fox Box

When Did WCGV-TV Air Fox Kids/Fox Box? On Saturday Or Sunday?

Always on their normal days and times, M-F for the weekday lineup, Saturday for the weekend. Nate 12:09, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In 1994

When Fox Moved To WITI In 1994, What Did WCGV Put In Its Place? Tomjerry9 22:00, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Early programming off

When WCGV first started, it actually did SelecTV 24/7. It was later that it switched to regular programming during the day and SelecTV at night. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 06:49, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's incorrect. You'll be able to read the story in my forthcoming book on Milwaukee TV history. SelecTV was never 24/7. In fact, that service didn't start until several months after the station went on the air. Nitelinger (talk) 15:49, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had family with the service, we used to come over and watch it during the day. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 15:58, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The station went on the air on 24 March 1980. SelecTV service started in late June of that year. Initially, SelecTV was on between 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. weekdays, 2:30-4:00 p.m. on Saturdays, 2:00-4:00 p.m. on Sundays and between 7:00 p.m.-1:00 a.m. nightly. Perhaps you saw the afternoon showings. You might also be confusing SelcTV, which was a scrambled over-the-air pay TV service with TVQ, which broadcast 24/7, but required subscribers to purchase a small dish and decoding box to get HBO. It was a competitor in the market. Both disappeared once cable penetration became high. Nitelinger (talk) 03:49, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
