This February 1999 WSYX ABC6 Columbus recording has Stephen King’s Storm of the Century, the ABC miniseries about a stranger arriving on a Maine island during a blizzard. The miniseries is available elsewhere. This copy also kept the broadcast breaks.
There are Lay’s WOW Chips, Intel’s Pentium III with a February 28 launch date, Mandalay Bay opening soon, go.com, 10-10-321, Aerial Communications, Surge, and a Strange World promo. The Columbus material includes ABC6 Nightbeat coverage and Scott Taylor segments.

The cassette is in a mismatched MGM sleeve. I found it in the bins in Columbus.
For more Columbus television, the Jenny Jones tape from April 1999 is also from ABC6. The 1987 World Series recording has the same station in an earlier era.
