The last time I saw this I was about 4... Seeing those dogs and hearing that WEIRD harmony with creepy whispery "stereo" was not okay. I'm 27 now and somehow it's STILL weird! LOL!
Great stuff! I found several VHS tapes of TV-20 Zone-a-thons and Mary-thons with these bumpers. I have put some here on youtube, but this one is great because it shows the old KOFY logo with the bright colors instead of the gold one they used later. Anyway, I will upload what I have!
thanx 4 the info, so that's what he's doing now huh? well it seems like the same now, but the jingle's different and the dog's got smart cuz they don't run from the TV now. LOL
Anyone around my age 25-35 if you grew up in the bay area and sing that jingle, most likely someone will finish the song by staying STEREO. I love this
I'm 31, and when I was a kid I would rush in the living room anytime that jingle came on; Anxious to see what kind of dog they were going to show! Memory Lane for real!
I think this is around 1987-1988 (I'm really wracking my brain here). My favorite part of these spots was the brilliant colors in the "20" logo, as seen here; I remember being disappointed when it was switched to the futuristic gold upon the arrival of the 1990s. KOFY also doubled as an AM oldies station (1050) until mid-1991; today it's KNBR sports radio.
I love those dogs. I'll bet their owners would love to know they are on YouTube, expecially since most of the pooches have probably been in doggy heaven for the last 10+ years.

So cool to see again. I totally forgot about these bumpers. Always loved KOFY's yearly Superman series marathon.

i agree, but whether is it was the bright or gold colors, both were better than the stupid WB20- or even the new your TV20.

James GAbbert should run the station again instead of being stressed out at KGO-AM.

Look for James Gabbert as a fill in host for Bernie Ward or Gene Burns that's where I found him.

Wait Gabbert has returned to the station.

The old bright colors were from when the station was KTZO (before it became KOFY in the 1990s).

I would like to know what the producers did to get the dogs to look at the tv. Does anyone know?

...stereo! Yes, the owners would call out to the dogs backstage, forcing them to look in the direction of the TV.

I thought of that -- wonder if someone will be passing thru and see Spot, their faithful pet.
