Last month, I wrote about abandoned radio stations.
Here's an abandoned TV station. KVVV-TV Channel 16, Galveston, TX has been off the air since 1969.
Here is what remains.......

What a shame...only on the air for a year and a half.
ReplyDeleteSince I'm in TV myself, I got naturally curious about KVVV and googled for more info. Lo and behold, post 5 in this forum thread comes from someone who worked there:

I'm the one that took the pictures (Invisible_Texan) & remember the station quite well. Glad to share them. Regards
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking them. Is the building still there? I read somewhere that they were developing in that area.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know it is, but I live 300 miles away now. Maybe someday I'll make it back there.
DeleteIt is still there
