This "Don't lose this booklet" booklet sounds like a bad joke.

I remember I-880 being commissioned as CA-17 when I was a child and then seeing the route number changes. I believe the span became an interstate route because the state received some federal funding for the freeway (which was in bad shape) and therefore needed to make it an interstate. though it's getting better, the freeway still has some improving to do.

If you have a chance could you please upload the video of Martin Wyatt interveiwing Joe Montana Thanks! The Niners by the way finshed the 1982 NFL strike-shortned season with a 3-6 record.

This appears to be from January 2, 1983

This may have been right when Van Amburg retired and right before Pete Wilson came. We were a KPIX-watching family at this time (McElhatton/Tokuda) so I'm not sure.

Who's Cheryl's co-anchor on this?

[manhizzy]

His name was Terry Beirn. I believe he eventually died from AIDS.

[ptb267ii]

It is Cheryl Jennings. She was on the weekends at this time before 1988-89.

@recto89 Jerry didn't die until late 1984. He might have been sick at this time but in early 1983 Jerry was still alive.

I take it that Highway 17 was part of Hwy 880 before about 1985 or so? But anyway, KGO's music was definitely during the early usage of NS2000 by Gari.

[manhizzy]

Yes.

[80stvthemes]

Actually, it's not Gari music or a Cool Hand Luke derivative. It was a custom package for KGO -- lasted from the fall of 82 until NS2000 showed up sometime in the spring of 84. Looks like this clip is from Jan 83.

[fanotv]

It seems a few stations decided to opt out of continuing with Cool Hand Luke between 1980-84, roughly. KGO, WLS and WXYZ were those stations. WLS would have been the first to branch off with a new theme, in 1980.

The Nimitz Freeway from San Jose to the Bay Bridge didn't get the 880 designation until '84 or '85, it was always signed as Highway 17 before that point. I grew up in Oakland in the '70's and '80's.
