WHDH News Promos - 1994

A series of WHDH promos that aired on 7/11/94. Note the lack of alliteration! (Anyone want to suggest alliterative-friendly alternatives to "Unsafe Pools" and "Unsupervised Students"?)

My boss and I thought they were pretty good when I wrote and produced them and she approved then for air. And the titles (Unsafe Pools/Unsupervised Students) were written that way in order to link to UNrelated stories together in the same promo.

I think it's cool that 16 years later, the same voice over is used for these promos.

You mean, Gilda Unruh, right?

I had forgotten about Gilda Unrue (sp)! I find it alittle funny how a TV station speaks so boldly of looking after children! I'm surprised there was no additional footage of Ms. Unrue with a halo around her head and children gathered under her arms!

Alliterative re-wording for "Unsafe Pools":

Perilous Pools.

Alliterative re-wordings for "Unsupervised Students":

Learners Let Loose, or Roaming Rug-Rats.

"Unsafe Underwater"

"Away Alone"

How's about that!

[DontBeTrippin]

How about "Diving Danger" and "Unnaccompanied Minors" (I know that the last one isn't exactly an alliteration, but it sounds better for a news report!)

P.S. I'm glad the '94 WHDH promos I'm getting around to post are different than these!
