This tape is an unedited off-air recording of commercial breaks from WLUK Fox 11 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, captured during the spring of 2003, most likely April and May.   The date is established by a cluster of Fox programming anchors. The Beverly Hills 90210 Reunion special is promoted as airing at 9/8 Central next Sunday on Fox — the special aired May 11, 2003. Mr. Personality, the Fox reality dating show hosted by Monica Lewinsky, is promoted extensively as airing Fox Monday at 9/8 Central; the show premiered April 21, 2003 and ran through spring 2003. Boston Public airs on Fox Monday before Mr. Personality in the same promotional block. Malcolm in the Middle's season finale and the Oliver Bean episode are promoted as airing that night on Fox. The Three's Company Story, a behind-the-scenes NBC Monday special, is promoted as airing in two weeks — that special aired January 6, 2003, placing some content in late December 2002, though the main body of the tape is spring 2003.   Comedy Central airs Primetime Glick with Ice Cube and Brendan Fraser as guests. The Best of Beavis and Butt-Head home video collection — four volumes on VHS or DVD for $29.99 — is sold via infomercial. Volkswagen introduces the 270-horsepower Passat W8. Kodak EasyShare Digital Camera and Printer Dock, which produces real Kodak photos at home without a PC, is a prominent advertiser. Taco Bell's Cheesy Gordita Crunch and Crest Spinbrush Pro appear among national advertisers. Progressive.com, the car insurance website rated number one seven times in a row, is promoted. Fox 11 News at 9 and Good Day Wisconsin at 5:30 a.m. are the local programming anchors throughout the tape.
