A Look Back

File:ＬＯＣＡＬ５８ - "Ａ Ｌｏｏｋ Ｂａｃｋ"

A Look Back is the sixth part of the Local 58 lore.

Plot

The video starts with a history of the Local 58 logos. As the current logo of the channel shows on-screen, the video flutters and glitches out, followed by static and then cutting to a series of ominous written messages. Clips of existing episodes and future episodes are shown until another message appears asking viewers not to "touch that dial" as there is "more to come". The broadcast day begins, with the Local 58 logo and a thank you message which ends in static.

Messages

Several ominous written messages appear on-screen. The first messages appeared after the logo timeline glitched out, as follows:

WE SEND SIGNALS TO OURSELVES
THRU THEIR DOMAIN 
DID WE REALLY BELIEVE
THEY WOULDNT ADD THEIR OWN

More messages show after a series of episode clips, as follows:

DONT TOUCH THAT DIAL
MORE TO COME
WE BEGIN OUR BROADCAST DAY
