Wow! How about that 10 cent cup of coffee? It's a $1.24 for a 16 oz cup now at BP! No sir, no inflation there.. no siree..

[maverickguy12]

Wow, that takes me back. That guy lived 5 houses down from me. King Kwik was big back then...like UDF today, my how times change.

One of the early Sales Managers of WEBN radio in Cincinnati told me when he went to college at UC, Rod Serling from The Twilight Zone was one of his proffessors. Serling had worked at 700 WLW in Cincinnati around that time or before.

"Your special," haha. Coffee 10 cents! These days it's what, 5 bucks? :D

My husband knew Mike Tangi back then. He liked him very much.

There is still a dinky little mom and pop convenience store in tri-county that goes by the name King-Kwik. At least it was still there last year.

[ampana]

@manhatin Yes, it is still there and you do not want to go in unless you have a bullet proof vest. That is a bad place. Oh no affiliation..

Wow! I remember the king kwik ads when I was little (in the 1970's) and they would air these during the Uncle Al show on channel 9!

There is nothing like Cincinnati broadcasting history. I wish someone would write a book about the early history of Cinti TV and radio. At NKU, my intro to radio professor was none other than Don Hermann, a Cincinnati radio legend.

Go to books(.)google(.)com and look for "Cincinnati Television‎" by

Jim Friedman -

[geechi71]

Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to look for that today.

[geechi71]

I just got finished with the book you recommended. It brought back a lot of wonderful memories. Thanks again!

[columbusmediatalk]

Another very interesting book is "History of U.S. Television: A Personal Reminiscence" By Lawrence H. Rogers, II. The author is a member of the family that got WSAZ-TV in Huntington on the air, and later became an executive with Taft Broadcasting. I think I paid about $6 for an e-book download that came in a pdf file. Worth every penny -- couldn't put the book down.

I'd forgotten all about King Kwik until I saw this, thanks!

[gibson1345]

[DevilHisDue]

[sydsbluestar]

I got a kick out of the "Your Special" sign in the background was misspelled "Your" instead of "You're" Lol!  I remember being shocked when I found out the twins were really just one guy. Lol!

[999manman]

10 cents for coffee? I wish!

[jaybee2]

and not just coffee, a DIME good cup of coffee!

[999manman]

Well, I'll be DIMED if I can find a good cup of coffee that cheap anymore! LOL!

[novatodave]

MORE! We want MORE!! Thanks for posting-

[tuttt99]

Cincinnati TV. Nothing like it!!!

Thanks!!

[rorysparrow1]

I remember this from when I was living in Richmond, Indiana in 1979! UNBELIEVABLE that I happened upon this! I remember this well. I used to make fun of the way these guys lisped "Heeerth our thpethal today!" These commercials came on Cincinnati T.V. stations, usually late at night. Also that Newport, Kentucky television station; I forget the call letters.

[honeycone71]

I grew up in Cincinnati before moving to Columbus, Ohio, and boy did you REALLY bring back some memories with that one, How could I ever forget the King Kwik brothers!

[pegbars]

OMG, I remember these spots! Thanks for posting. Great Cincy memories.  ;)
