Cliff, my good friend,
I found some possible errors with the Wikipedia article on channel 1... or, "Channel One" as WNBT always called it, IIRC.
If W9XZV was the first "all-electric TV station", were the others steam powered? Perhaps using disused locomotives as a joke promo I saw years ago out of the U.K.?
Also, K2XBS was really KS2XBS and KS2XBR, the latter of which was still on-air into the 1970's on channel 38 testing systems later used in Zenith's OTA and cable scrambling systems. I'm sure our friend Wayne ("the flicker kicker") can provide more info on those stations.
Ahhh Zenith... where the parts went in before the name went on!
