The more things change the more they stay the same.

I'm paused at 10:27... *WOW!* Before I lived in the Bay Area for a little time as a child in 1977, I was born and lived my first number of years in NYC(we would move back there after leaving SanFran); I never knew the "circle 7" that we know and love(now even here in Buffalo since 2014) began there in SanFran! *MIND. BLOWN.*

At the Time the 5 ABC O&O's had their Own Style in the 5 Markets that ABC Operated at Time!
New York: WABC 7
Chicago: WLS (Before The Call Letters were Changed in 1968, it was WBKB)
Los Angeles: KABC 7
San Francisco: KGO 7
Detroit: WXYZ 7 ( ABC Sold the Station in 1986 to Scripps Broadcasting cause Capital Cities Bought ABC in 1985 & the FCC Ordered to Sell the Detroit Station or the Philly Station WPVI/ABC 6 that Capital Cities Wanted to Keep When they Bought ABC Cause WPVI was a Very Profitable Station & they didn't want to Give it up, so WXYZ was the Fall Guy & they Sold it to Scripps.)

any particular reason abc kept going for the channel 7 dial?

[@ApartmentKing66]

@@iron_lion940 Probably the same reason NBC got a lot of channel 4 stations. CBS has a few channel 2 licenses too.

[@ApartmentKing66]

WABC -- Before the call letters were changed, it was WJZ-TV
KABC -- Before the call letters were changed, it was KECA-TV
WPVI -- Before the call letters were changed, it was WFIL-TV...and these are just ABC stations.

Growing up in Oakland on 33rd Avenue I remember a horrific accident between a train and a car it happened around 1962 I believe it killed seven people I was wondering if anybody remember that

What is different now compared to then - is that there was a draft.
