WXIA We're With You On 11 Alive 1985 Promo #1

One of my favorite local spots. It has a great duet that's far from sappy. Some of the sights include meteorologist Johnny Beckman switching John Pruitt's golf clubs, the helicopter pilot high-fiving a kid in a toy store, and of course the 11 Alive insignia, my favorite station logo.

wow why dont any of the local channels (2,5,46,or 11)( have promos like this anymore???

[MrFilmMakerNumber2]

i remember after every 11 'o clock show, they would have video of people around town with their hands up making an eleven when i was young.

I remember Channel 5 did a live shot in-front of 11's building on the 5:00 news, about Bruce Erion's wife body not found on the house boat!

[etittle1978]

Yeah, she apparently fell off his houseboat in Lake Lanier and I dont think they ever found her body.

I can't find anything about it online...I just remember hearing several people talking about the news chopper guy who killed his wife back in the late 90s. I am a transplant from another state, and just took it to be accurate statements from those people...

money. They sell more ads rather than running these loyalty pieces. Same reason why there used to be a 30-45 second intro at the front of every newscast where they splashed the screen with their logo and then a pleasant mugshot of the on-air talent, played a catchy tune that went along with the loyalty jingle, etc. Time is money. They don't want us to get all warm and fuzzy like they did 20 years ago.

[etittle1978]

That was never proven in a court of law. In fact, it never even went to a court of law. If it did, its news to me.

[cllewis1]

That chopper pilot the one who later murdered his wife?
