I love the "11 Alive" ID featured in this promo. So dated and cheesy, yet so cool. It was briefly featured in WPIX's 60th Anniversary special over a year ago. It was the only classic station ID that they featured IIRC. During a segment in which they recalled the "TV-PIXX" game.
I love these wpix promos.One that i recall was with woody allen in Take the Money and Run.He was in the restaurant booth going over the plan saying the title,behind him was a cop hearing it all and then the scene would fade out and go to the jingle and station id would appear and fly in space with Biery or lowenstien narrations................
I remember that Woddy Allen promo too :-). Seen it dozens of times: "Don't turn around. I want to speak to you about a business proposition. It's a bank job. Couple of guys and myself are going to get together and four weeks from now...quarter of a million dollars. We walk in and take it like that!" Though I wasnt a Woody Allen fan at the time (I am a fan now), so I never bothered to watch the movie (I would see it many years later).
