WBOO the Big Boo [1] is a ghostly TV station founded by ghosts.
History[]
For three weeks, The Unreal Shriek Squeal gathered many ghosts to help him form a pirated TV station. [2] [3] Utilizing a dynamo and free floating spectral energy, the WBOO was ready to take New York then the world by storm. Ghosts began to use TV sets as doorways to invade various locales in New York City. At the stroke of midnight, WBOO was set to go national. [4] After WBOO manifested in the center of Central Park, the Ghostbusters entered and found Slimer. They then traced a power cord to a terminus of densely packed evil energy, where the dynamo was located. [5] After firing on it, The Unreal Shriek Squeal was considerably weakened and dispersed. WBOO then collapsed and disappeared.
Trivia[]
- On Cover B of Ghostbusters Issue #12, WBOO has a non-canon reference on the concert ticket.
