Man, you have no idea how much this makes my heart ache for the OLD kptv channel 12, the greatest TV station ever. Ramblin Rod, Portland wrestling, Tom Peterson... In the words of Stevie Wonder "I wish those days could come back once more..." Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
@muscleboundfreak me too my friend your not alone I grew up in a small oregon coastal town of coos bay and all we had was ten channels on cable and one of them was kptv 12. my childhood was kptv 12 from portland wrestling to ramblin rod to the eight o clock movie and tom peterson. I will forever miss it.
@muscleboundfreak this and ktxl tv 40 from sacramento with tom labrie night comfort theater and ktvu theres only one two ruled the west coast late nights for years in the seventies and eighties...
Man these are the good ole days. A simpler time. Ramblin' Rod, Portland Wrestling and Tom Peterson commercials. Don't forget late nite -- Benny Hill. That was the greatest thing ever.
It truly was an independent station. It always felt like I owned the station. I think many of us feel that.

@NWvideocollector Have you ever came across a kptv 12 bumper from the fall of 86 previewing what shows were coming to the station and it had a picture of gary coleman from different strokes with the portland mountain in the background similliar to this one. It was from this same year please if you ever come across it can you post it or tell me how I could get a copy of it.

His voice is like comfort food for my ears I did not realize he passed. Great childhood memories come from hearing his voice. "KPTV 12, PORTLAND"

According to WikiPedia, from 1984 to 1986, KPTV was Portland's affilate for "Kids Incorporated".

Actually I believe that kind of affiliation ran through 1989.
