Is this the same source (before he sold it)?

Also, in an effort to not derail this thread, is there another to discuss VHS decks?
The source of that video is a recording from KIRO in Seattle, Washington. It was originally uploaded about three years ago and apparently re uploaded since then. I contacted the uploader when it was first put on youtube to see if he had a complete recording, but he said he no longer had the tape.
Here is a screenshot showing the station ID from the now removed animated segment that he had uploaded:
As for version 2 of WHIO, I will be doing the first transfer using the 1980 this week. I will also try running one of my WMAR tapes trough it to see if I can get decent quality copies of the commercials.
Also, if anyone has or knows where to obtain a copy of the WBNS-TV 10 Columbus, Ohio recording let me know as it may yield slightly better copies of the commercials
