Stephen Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 It looks like invisible_texan is perhaps permanently AFK on this board and also on flickr; I was referred to his photoset on webshots.com (presumably the same photos that were on flickr), though, by Nick Saum, a friend of mine and the flickr user who posted the 2007 photo. Here's the link: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/561982645hxhcVr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1956 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 My gosh, this thread brought back a long forgotten memory. KVVV had a kids show 'No-No The Clown' and I believe No-No lived close by because I occasionally saw a van with the No-No logo on Beamer Road, early 1970's.I seem to recall that No-No's son may have also been on the show, as sidekick 'Yes-Yes'.

It looked like the lot had been cleared. Can anyone confirm this? Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really did love kids. Sadly he passed away about six years ago. His son Ralph Jr is a local actor who also appears as No-No at various events around town. Speaking of Robert Ehntholt Sr. Does anyone also remember when he dressed up as a ghoul an introduced horror movies on channel 16? thanks!

editor Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 According to Wikipedia, KVVV was licensed to Galveston, with its operations in Alvin. It was only on the air in 1968 and 1969. The transmitter ended up at the PBS station in Corpus Christi. Today, the KVVV call letters are assigned to an LPTV station licensed to Houston.

As odd as it may sound, that station is one of my favorites to check out whenever I've visited town over the past few years. It's about the only one that has subchannels that are dedicated to the African (more specifically Nigerian) community. One, ABN - African Broadcasting Network, has bounced around a few of their channels - but the way they program it is different from most that I've seen. It's mostly independent, low-budget films from Africa, mixed in with newscasts from the Nigerian news channel called Channels Television. The commercial breaks run at the beginning and end of any program, so it's a good 10-20 minutes between shows most times. I'm not sure what their rate card is, but they do tend to fill the spots with a variety of local businesses of all kinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's being fed to the station over a very bad internet connection, so there are lots of problems watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
