I remember watching "Nocturnal Transmissions" from U68 back around 1982, when MTV wasn't on the Manhattan cable system yet. It was grainy and on a black & white set in my bedroom, but it opened up a whole new, yet very transitory, world of TV music.
When I finally got the chance to see MTV, I actually preferred the low-rent flavor of U68.
Thanks to my friend Scully, here's a collection of station IDs by mostly famous personalities for U68.....

Was that a very young Gary Dell'abate there in that clip about 41 seconds in?
As the Trickster once said, "Reality is boring, that's why I change it whenever I can."
I'm just "The Man Who Viewed Too Much", and "Inner Toob" is a blog exploring and celebrating the 'reality' of an alternate universe in which everything that ever happened on TV actually takes place.
Most of my theories about the TV Universe come from thinking inside the box and thus can't be proven. But I've never been one to shy away from a tall tale.....
Remember: "The more you watch, the more you've seen!"

U68 was the bomb. Remember when they had Uncle Floyd & Oogie co-anchor the news
