It was an independent station (sort of) that would eventually be bought, sold, changed, etc... It was a very sad day when it became a Home Shopping Channel. I remember me and neighborhood friend Darren Weins used to call our local cable company and just say "put U68 back on !!" and hang up . It was our version of "I want my MTV". (BTW U68 played much better videos). Meanwhile, it turned out the actual station WWHT became Home Shopping so it had nothing to do with the cable company. Enjoy this classic U68 Promo

It was the only station at the time that played stuff like Slayer and Razor!!! They even played stuff like Zebra and Black Sabbath songs besides Paranois and Iron Man!!!
Ahhh! The memories!
At the moment I was discussing this unforgotten channel with my son. U68 good memories.
I remember the night when the master control operator accidentally punched up the hardcore porn he was watching. It was broadcast for about 30 seconds. It wasnt long before they went off the air. What a great tv station. U68 got me into the Damned, Raven, and the Del-Lords.
