Brain Fart WCCP "NOT" WYFF .... Clemson's "flagship" station!


Aug 19, 2022, 3:27 PM

Really ....... where does it originate from ..... Ramona'a basement? It has gotten to the point in Greenville, a whopping 30 miles away, that I have to turn the volume up so loud, that you best not change channels if you value your ear drums. What is their range ..... 35 miles? During football season, or any other sports season, there used to be a network of stations where you could get the game anywhere in South Carolina. Now, I am not sure where you can pick up the games, but I don't think it wide ranged. Is there no longer a reason to be able to have a network of stations statewide that carry games?

WYFF is the Greenville NBC television affiliate. Howdy neighbor.

Stowe Hoyle was the beloved Mr. Doohickey. He passed in 2016.

Yes. That video tribute brought a tear to my eye. I didn't know he was the Atlantic Weatherman on WYFF. I remember him doing the noon weather and cooking segment before he retired in early 80's.

As a kid I always thought his name was Stove Oil.

I was on the show.....it was something else. Mr. Doohickey

asked me who I was and how was I doing. I was only about 5 or 6 years old and I said, "I'm Bryan Black....and my dog died today"......I bet Mr. Doohickey just about crapped his pants....Had to be one of the worst guests spots ever on the show.

Ok, my wife was on the show when she was a little girl.

So you were the wild kid on set that she always talked about ?!?!

WYFF the Clemson "flagship" station?


Aug 19, 2022, 3:41 PM

Since when !?!?!

They are pretty balanced and try to report on most the states teams.

Maybe you're referring to radio broadcasts?

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


Re: WYFF .... Clemson's "flagship" station!


Aug 19, 2022, 4:08 PM

Does Ramona own the station? I don’t understand why she is on the air. Since Walt knows everything and is never wrong, Ramona has no reason to be on the show.

Has anybody reported to them about the possum? It would be good to have them investigate and dig up a touching human interest story.

Always was able to pick up signal in simpsonville Laurens Clinton above TR and down to McCormick.

There are other stations who carry games but the game product (all CU game products) are managed by Learfield Sports and are syndicated. Daily broadcasts from WCCP are not syndicated but easily stream them from your cell phone.

Sorry guys and Gals .... meant to be about WCCP, but


Aug 19, 2022, 7:11 PM

you brought back a lot of great memories with WFBC/WYFF. MY aunt was the secretary at the station in the 50's and early 60's and used to get on everything they had for kids. I was on Monty's Rascals (Monty Dupuy) or it may have even been the kids show before it. We also got tickets to see "rasslin" with Gorgeous George and many of the old timers. Those were the days!

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I was told that a cousin of mine


Aug 19, 2022, 7:17 PM

married Gorgeous George’s daughter but I haven’t seen him for a while and never met her at all. Hope she is gorgeous as well.

Wonder if she was a "natural" blonde as well!
