And over 20 years later, "Entertainment Tonight" (one of the shows featured in the montage) is STILL on WXII (though they have also carried Inside Edition, Access Hollywood, and I think Hard Copy over the years)!!
I never liked channel 12 growing up as a kid. when I visiting galax, virginia we got their station and they always pre=empted the game shows at 10 & 10;30, so we always watched the other nbc affiliate that came in wvva tv 6.
WXII cool. I wish someone had the news intro and open from about 1991-1992. I am sure you all remember it LOL "WXII - the ONE to watch!" That was pretty cool I thought. :)
I live in the exact area WXII serves.

That was awesome! I'll always think of WXII as the station that used to air the nighttime Price is Right with Doug Davidson.

I noticed a birthday cake in the promo several times-- this was to coincide with WXII's 35th anniversary at the time, right?
