There was a portion of the commercial for Ocean Cadillac on Miami Beach...the man in the black tux who said "hi" at :44. He was the spokesman for the Cadillac dealership for years.

I believe that guy's name is Jack Bradford.

Was this around the time NBC acquired the station?

[NewmanNewsman]

Yes.

@JimmySand9 NOT KPIX San Francisco, they were Group W so used the Group W mandate at that time, which annoyed me as I remember.

[saturnday]

Thanks for the name. I drew a complete blank on that but now remember completely. The Ocean Cadillac commercials used to also dominate overnight TV on channels 33 and 39 around that time.

And the "New Arena" has been bulldozed. Last I checked only a part of the northwest stairs remained.

I think WTVT used this same font in the mid to late 1980's.
