:Yeah, two more Atlanta-area fans (Recharge and Robo_rob) confirm that TF ran on WGNX. I'll see if I can't dig up anything for Macon, GA while I'm at it. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 12:59, 15 July 2010 (EDT) | |||

Virtually certain that the G1 toon ran on WCCB, as there were no other independent stations in Charlotte at the time and the networks ran soap operas in the afternoons when I distinctly remember watching it. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 10:47, 15 July 2010 (EDT) | Virtually certain that the G1 toon ran on WCCB, as there were no other independent stations in Charlotte at the time and the networks ran soap operas in the afternoons when I distinctly remember watching it. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 10:47, 15 July 2010 (EDT) | ||

Might want to fix the KTLA and KCAL links for Los Angeles. :) --Lonegamer78 18:56, 31 July 2009 (EDT)
- Actually it wasn't the links that were wrong for the KTLA links, it was the display text. But thanks for pointing that out as it resulted in my noticing the links for Lincoln were incorrect. And I suppose I could save people having to click through a disambig page for KCAL. :)--Tigerpaw28 03:05, 1 August 2009 (EDT)
Hi, sorry for taking so very long to get back to you. Unfortunately most of the newspaper archives I have access to cut out at 1977, which means they don't cover any of the relevant periods. The only info I've been able to glean is that the original Transformers cartoon was broadcast on WPIX and WHEC-TV to Syracuse (via the Syracuse Herald-Journal) in late 1984. I've also got a reference in a Madison, WI newspaper that I'm unable to interpret at the moment. Everything else is a bit of a washout, I'm afraid. --Tribimat 06:52, 15 July 2010 (EDT)
Atlanta
I am almost 99% certain that Generation 1 ran on WGNX, which is now WGCL. I'd have to dig out tapes from my parents' attic to confirm, though. There were three stations running syndicated programming in Atlanta in the 80s, WGNX, WATL, and WUPA. UPA had the really third string stuff - Dinosaucers, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, Denver the Last Dinosaur, maybe Robotech a couple years after it was hot. WGNX ran, IIRC, Joe, TF, He-Man in afternoons, with a fourth slot that rotated in and out with whatever the flavor of the season was - I clearly remember Rambo and Bravestarr. WATL, I think, really hit it big when they got TMNT, but before that mostly ran shows that skewed towards younger kids (Tom & Jerry, Woody Woodpecker, that kind of thing). I'd have to double-check with other Atlanta kids, though. I CAN confirm, however, that Beast Wars definitely ran on WUPA, while Beast Machines and RiD ran on WATL (even though they weren't the Fox affiliate at that point, they still ran the Fox Kids programming block). -hx 09:04, 15 July 2010 (EDT)
- Yeah, two more Atlanta-area fans (Recharge and Robo_rob) confirm that TF ran on WGNX. I'll see if I can't dig up anything for Macon, GA while I'm at it. -hx 12:59, 15 July 2010 (EDT)
Charlotte
Virtually certain that the G1 toon ran on WCCB, as there were no other independent stations in Charlotte at the time and the networks ran soap operas in the afternoons when I distinctly remember watching it. --Khajidha 10:47, 15 July 2010 (EDT)
