@geekgirltv2011 I think it was quite common to see the identical national anthem films (which were frequently produced elsewhere and acquired for use by the stations) on different television stations and networks
Those were the days when mom stayed home with the kids, we all ate dinner together, and TV signed off so folks could get a good night's sleep and GO TO WORK in the morning. Yes, I know, some waa waa liberal with have a comment on this.
For what it may be worth, all the advertisers you see in this clip are still in business in Rochester 32 years later, although the office furniture guy has moved across town.
@kstarpictures Definitely. I too have noticed it has a style quite ahead of its time. Oddly enough, I remember watching that ad during the early 90s, and it didn't look "dated" at that time...so there you go.
@Crowflug Typically from old Betamax tapes, both ones I've found as well as recordings sent by friends...you never know when these things will turn up.
I would like to say that it takes me back to the time when I was but a little boy. I especially like the anthem, since it was played by a band. As I stood listening thereto, it made me extremely proud to be an American, as every citizen should feel when they hear this familiar tune.
The good old days. Wish it was like that now.

why did WHEC-TV uses the same national anthem as WABC-TV using it.

4:59-5:04, I find that rather scary.

This was about 10 years before the great network swap of 1989. I remember it well because I was annoyed that it happened. :(

That "House Of Guitars" Ad seems like something out of the 90's! That dry sarcastic voice, etc...
