I've often thought it would be cool (but likely impossible) to pin down dates of use for things like that.

It shouldn't be so hard.  So long as there's video evidence that can be dated, then it's pretty easy to realize what background was used when.
Almost all of my images and videos are dated. How would I be able to determine a start and end date from that? :hmm:

Is that a comment, question, or complaint? :thinking:

She was very popular with alternative rock fans. I'm also not surprised to hear this, but it's still sad.

My cat was born on Jim's 8th anniversary.

Based on the topic name, I expected to read about a STAR that wasn't working at all, but is now fixed. But an ID number!? Is the really something worth getting excited about? :huh:

Wasn't Follow Your Bliss by the B52s used before?
Yep, it was a J flavor in the summer of 1990. "Junebug" was an I flavor during the same playlist.

Yes they sure played some offbeat music at the end of the 80's into the early 90's, to say the least. That was one way TWC was able to distinguish itself in those early days.  I remember my dad was in the room when Cats of Rio played one time and he said  rather perplexed "Where do they get this music?  :unsure:
That's what I thought too when I first saw footage from 89/90! There were several songs (like "Surrender" by Harry Miller, the 4 songs by Buckwheat Zydeco, and the 2 songs by the B-52's) that, at first, I thought WTF!? But as with almost all classic WC music, it wasn't long before the music grew on me. :biggrin:

I thought it would be listed on my site. Apparently not. Man I really need to update my playlists!

Glad I could help! It was in a playlist from 1988. It was used in 1989 as well, but I don't have it on the playlist for some reason. I really need to re-do those.

A bit of a long shot, but was it "Cats of Rio" by Lee Ritenour & Dave Grusin?

I've seen worse. There was one in Perry, Kansas that was so degraded, you couldnt even read some of the forecasts.
That could be the result of the camera. Camera-made LFs are usually pretty awful. I don't see why anyone would want to see a degraded 4000 on a regular basis. :huh:

I don't understand why so many of you guys hate Samantha Mohr.
Who said they hated her? Seems like they were just poking fun at that picture. :huh:

I created a page to commemorate the event. I only had a few hours to do it and it's a day late, but what the heck...
