I should have learned by this point, but I did not preview some of the latest videos before uploading. The newscasts are what I've intended to share, and figured some of the Tonight Show tape rollover would be cool as well. Some of the subjects on the Tonight Show are quite NSFW and I did not realize it until after I had already premiered the videos. The videos have been set to 18+. The newscasts will be available on this channel for all viewers after I have finished processing the videos and cutting off the tape rollover. I intended to give a behind-the-scenes look at part of my digitizing process, with future "unedited" videos being available to members of this channel. Going forward, I'll make sure all content is screened in full before publishing.

I would like to express my gratitude to Lou Gramm and the Lou Gramm Foundation for this incredible opportunity to rock on. Rochester TV Archive proudly supports the Lou Gramm Foundation, which promotes music education by providing grants to students who might not otherwise have the chance to pursue their dreams. You can find more information about the organization on their Facebook page or website. A big thank you to Matt Grammatico and Ali Solomon for all of your coordination efforts and for giving fans the chance to connect with Lou and enjoy many other experiences.

If there were a premium or subscription-based "bonus" page for Rochester TV Archive, what would you want to see on it?

There are almost 25 years' worth of random things I have recorded, captured, and collected on these hard drives that aren't really suitable for this channel. There are lots of unfinished projects and other videos that are incomplete.

Let me know what you think.
