No more KHCW 39 in Houston and WWE gets real news coverage

Channel 39 has gone by many different names.  In my lifetime, we have seen:

KHTV
KHWB
KHCW

And now David Barron tells us the curtain will raise on KIAH.  Yep, like the airport call sign for Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Will the station ever return to the 39 Gold days? Go ahead, bring back Bosom Buddies, I dare you Tribune.

In other Houston news, I got an email about this one and thought it was funny.  Others obviously did too.  According to the Orlando Sentinel and an entry on Digg, A Houston television web site (we'll leave it as anonymous unless you link through) supposedly thought that WWE was real. The site reported main man Vince McMahon had a "freak accident" on WWE Monday Night RAW. 

If you search for Vince McMahon on the site, you get a story result, but someone has clearly deleted that story. No cache story available.
