1986 WVIT News Promo For Anchor Toby Moffett

Here is a short station ID & promo for the November 1986 debut of former CT U.S. House of Representative Toby Moffett as evening news anchor on Channel 30 WVIT, New Britain, CT. Unfortunately, his career as a news anchor was rather brief, although he remained at the station until 1989 as a political correspondant. In 1990, he made an unsuccessful bid to return to the U.S. House of Representatives, losing to Gary Franks

Toby was also a former CT Governor.

@elc1960 No. Moffett ran in the Democratic gubanatorial primary against sitting Governor Bill O'Neill in 1986 and lost, freeing him up for this sort-lived gig as Channel 30 news anchor.

Oh my God, you're right! I forgot that. Time has blurred my memory so that I hear his name and automatically assumed that he won.  Thank you for jogging my memory out of another senior moment.
