5:30am Grand Ole Opry (Country Classics). I remember watching it every morning before I went to school.

Oddly enough, 1986 was the same year Ted Knight died. R.I.P. Ted.

On the radio I heard today about the event in Detroit with WDIV meteriologist Chuck Gaidaca on November 11 about Bobby Mitchell, isn't it the guy from Jackpot Bingo?

Didn't TV2 had a 5:30pm news in 83-84 than in 86 it has Benson. I think they brought back a 30 minute 5pm news w/ Katherine Lehan and Cheers at 5:30 and by the 90s they had First News at 4 followed by Geraldo at 5pm than later on they moved Donahue at 5pm

Do you have WJBK's local version of CBS' We've Got the Touch campaign from 1984?

[AJ0880]

Do you have the video from WJBK's version of CBS' We've Got the Touch promotional campaign from 1984-85?

"You and Channel 2, We've Got the Touch"

George Sells sounds simular to Charlie Van Dyke, who does voiceovers for many TV & radio stations.
