@hikari oh, various English-language ones have been preserved and are easily findable, the problem is specifically just the Cantonese-language ones (that we really hope we are remembering accurately enough)

the problem is that these exist in (what appears to be) a rather unusual media landscape and were probably only aired in limited markets (SF Bay, Los Angeles??)

@hikari the entire existence of KTSF seems to weird out all the people over here who just... don't... comprehend the level of non-integration that has been existing in the Bay for a long time. (it's certainly not how states over here build their societies)

you have a broadcast TV station with a newsroom which covers local issues in intentionally not-the-local-dominant-language

we can only speak to *our own* experience of growing up very culturally non-integrated
