I interned at the station in 1984. Alison was very patient with me as I was doing a dual internship with the New Ehrlich Theatre in Boston at the time. I appreciate her so much for that. She was a stunning lady and a real joy to work for.
These are a great series of clips. First, fashion and hairstyles of 1982 are clearly on display. Second, TV was a lot simpler (and better) then. No silly graphics on the bottom of the screen to tell the viewer what they are hearing and watching. (Think Today Show). Bring back public service requirements for the public airways! And more clips!!
Now that WLVI-TV has lost the CW affiliation, CBS announced today that they would affiliate WSBK with The CW as of August 29, 2011.

Is that production music TV38 used or was that something from the Weather Report catalog I'm not familiar with?

The name of the tune is "Wizard Island." It is available from iTunes.

TV38 was awesome when it came to local programming before selling out to UPN. Great to hear the golden pipes of Dana Hersey on the disclaimer.

I remember watching this program when I was only 13-14 years old. Alison was so beautiful. Thanks for posting!

@gregnugget I agree. I have a couple CNN bits on VHS from the early 90's and even then there were no stupid graphics filling up half the screen.

Norfolk, VA still has a couple of shows similar to this, one called "Dialogue", which airs on WVEC. The other is "The Bottom Line" on WAVY.

We had a local talk show back in the 70's/80's in Milwaukee, it was called "Hello Milwaukee" and it was on WISN Ch. 12, which is an ABC affiliate!

Thanks. Love to see these snippets that would otherwise be lost to history.
