WVUT

WVUT, virtual and UHF digital channel 22, is a PBS member television station located in Vincennes, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by Vincennes University. WVUT maintains studio facilities located on North 2nd Street and Rosedale Avenue in Vincennes, and its transmitter is located along U.S. 41/U.S. 150 in unincorporated Sullivan County (south of Farmersburg).

History

The station's history traces back to the launch of a television station in Princeton, WRAY-TV (channel 52), a commercial independent station that signed on in October 1959; it was co-owned with radio station WRAY (1250 AM), which shared studio space with WRAY-TV. With competition from two television stations – WTVW and WFIE-TV – out of the nearby Evansville market, WRAY-TV was never successful and ceased operations. The station's studio equipment was donated to Vincennes University; however, the license itself was surrendered to the Federal Communications Commission in February 1961.

By the time that Vicennes University applied for a new station license, the old channel 52 allocation had been reassigned to UHF channel 34, and the construction permit originally issued on February 8, 1966 was re-issued under that allocation, only to be changed by the FCC to channel 22 a few weeks later as part of a nationwide shuffling of channel allocations for stations that had not yet been built. WVUT first signed on the air on February 15, 1968, as a member station of National Educational Television (NET). WVUT joined PBS when the reorganized network launched on October 5, 1970.

Ain't Livin' Long Like This

by: Foghat

R. Crowell - Jolly Cheeks Music - BMI
I looked for trouble and I found it son,
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun.
I'd try to run but I don't think I can,
You make one move and you're a dead man, friend.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back,
Then left me freezin' on a steel rail rack.
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby,
Ain't livin' long like this.
Grew up in Houston on the wayside drive,
Son of a car hop in some all nite dive.
Dad drove a stock car to an early death,
All I remember was a drunk man's breathe.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
We know the story how the wheel goes 'round,
Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown,
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby? Ah take it!
{Erik - Solo}
I live for Angel, she's a road house queen,
Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee.
I want to love her but I don't know how,
I'm at the bottom of a jailhouse now.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock,
Go on and do it, but just don't get caught.
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby.
Oh, ain't livin' long like this.
Oh no!
