During the spring of 1997, Fox 46 also struck a deal to carry University of Arkansas men’s basketball games - as opposed to KFDF’s earlier package of women’s games. The image campaign announcing this acquisition was very flashy, filled with rapid-fire edits that occasionally got down to only two frames per clip. Not a bad trick when you’re editing on 3/4″ tape without any non-linear equipment.

For spring 1997, another new Star Trek: Voyager image campaign was launched, this time consisting of a single, 30-second long Lightwave animation which followed a Starfleet ship past a galaxy, a planet, a sun, and into a densely-packed asteroid field, accompanied by the Voyager theme music and text telling viewers that “If you thought you couldn’t find Voyager, maybe you need to look in the right place” (that place, naturally, being UPN 32 roundabout Wednesday night). This was my final Star Trek campaign for KFDF, and my last major campaign for the station as well.
