WKFE-TV 8
Local television from a town that was never there.
A generated local channel broadcasting from Ogden Falls, Wisconsin, somewhere between 1986 and 1997. Ag reports at four in the morning, a weatherman at a map, ads for businesses that have always been there. Nobody on screen knows anything is wrong.

01
Sincerity is the trick
No horror, no winking. Most of every hour is completely plausible, because the strange parts only work against a boring baseline.
-
02
A continuity ledger
Everything said on air becomes canon: an anchor’s age, a sponsor’s years of trust. Nothing gets contradicted later.
-
03
Made on one GPU
Stills, clips, music beds and voices are all generated locally. The voices go through a broadcast chain that strips off the clean top end that gives synthetic audio away.

04
Worn in once
Tape wear is baked in when each spot is mastered, so playout streams straight through without re-encoding.
