I am working on an ongoing project of implementing FieldStation42, which is a simulation of Cable TV any way you want to build it. The end goal is a recreation of my local TV stations complete with commercials and bumps from a specific period in the 90s. Playing on a CRT TV
Most of my time is spent looking for old media and commercials, sorting and creating fictional TV schedules.
Initially I had set too many rules for myself and stalled out a bit, but recently have made some encouraging progress and seeing it up and working has me re-energized.
This project has been fulfilling because of the research aspects, and hunting for old VHS tapes. I have had many great discussions with people about how they remember certain stations or when programs aired or what shows I am missing.
