[spongebeaver1988]

The guy in the KHOU promo looks just like Harvey from Double Dare.

Always thought it was interesting how the 1984 and 1985 WFSB versions focused on their news coverage.

[TheKid965]

@HamptonRoadsTVFan WFSB was always really high on pushing their news team, which was consistently #1 in the Hartford market throughout the '80s.  These spots reflect that.

[rebafan19]

[elfdog100]

This was the last season promo sportscaster Earl Gillespie and Albert the Alley Cat did for TV 6.

[gshowguy]

All the promos were really great! My two favorites are the ones for WITI and WFSB, though.

[videonut33]

The promo from WFSB was the best thought up promo you'd expect from The Land of the Three! Surperb!!!

[newscaster13]

Indeed, seeing that the "Land of the 3" campaign was done by Klein&

[newscaster13]

CBS in the Mile High City

First, it was KMGH Channel 7 from 1953 to 1995, being the CBS station for 42 years.

Now, being the CBS affiliate is KCNC's problem, and it has been for 14 years.

KCNC is more than just a CBS affiliate, it is owned by the network itself; and that was after NBC (Channel 4's former owner/affiliate) sold KCNC to CBS.

Great promos. Now how about the "We Got The promos for WCBS-TV Channel 2 (now CBS 2) anmd WBBM-TV. Look those up please???

[newscaster13]

Actually, for WBBM, this video was from a year BEFORE 1984.

watch?v=hOUO_BqjCQA&feature=re­lated

This is the first installment of the We've Got the Touch (1983) customized for WBBM.

It shows Dan Craig (Bill Kurtis's replacement while he was at the CBS National News).

It shows all the others: Chicago institution Walter Jacobson, sports anchor Johnny Morris, Harry Porterfield and weatherman John Coughlin.

[tyrese3745]

I KNOW that. I saw the video. Well, what about the WCBS-TV Channel 2 version of the 1984-85 campaign?

[newscaster13]

Two Former CBS Affiliates are now with different networks.

KMGH Channel 7 in Denver is now with ABC

WITI Channel 6 in Milwaukee is now owned by the FOX network

[rebafan19]

@newscaster13 WITI is now a Fox television affiliate, owned by Local TV, LLC

[gshowguy]

@newscaster13 And both only mention their channels at the very end of their promos.

Just want to mention-- there's versions for now-defunct WBNB in the Virgin Islands and still-active WDEF in Chattanooga as well.

[Ian16545]

@newscaster13 In fact, the way I see it, that's the trouble with Fox stations nowadays. Oh, if only it weren't for that agreement they made with the NFL around 1994...

[barber747]

Wow, for a video that's about 25 years old, this is such great, crystal clear quality!
