Happy 80th anniversary to KYW-TV! Incidentally today so happens to be the 80th anniversary of Aussie station ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austral...ng_Corporation which opened 1st July 1932 for radio then in 5th November 1956 for television. So happy birthday to both stations launched within a few days of each other!
