Adelman v. Town of Baldwin (2299 words)
The testimony offered by WMTW indicated that the completed WMTW tower would not have a significant negative impact on the surrounding property values in the Town of Baldwin and that any impact would not be greater than would normally occur from such a use in the zoning district.
WMTW explained that the tower needed to be 1667 feet tall because the height of the tower correlated to the strength of the signal.{6} [¶16] The Board heard testimony concerning the nuisance factors it was required to consider pursuant to section 3(1)(c).
The Town and WMTW both assert that the court properly granted a summary judgment because the amendments to the ordinance are consistent with the comprehensive plan.
WMTW (ABC) (825 words)
Local WMTW IDs/promos used in 1982 to 1984 (perhaps earlier as well?) were often similar to network IDs, except the ABC logo would be replaced with a superimposed, very cheap looking number "8" spinning, as it must have been sitting on a turntable.
Montrealers may remember WMTW as “the white 8” or “the other ABC affiliate.” Because Mount Washington is the Northeast's highest peak, more than 6200 feet above sea level, WMTW enjoyed a coverage area that other stations could only dream of, hence its availability on Videotron and CF Cable until the early 90s.
WMTW stayed on cable until the early 90s, meaning that for about 20 years, Montrealers had two ABC stations.
