WBAL Action News Promos 1981-82

From WBAL Baltimore, some Action News promos back when they were a CBS affiliate. The team out in the field, followed by weatheman Norm Lewis (recently retired from WMAR), Dick Gelfman's Legal Line; Afternoon Lineup; a 1:00 Image spot; the signoff headlines and a Full Screen Slide ID. Most of these spots are voiced by Baltimore legend Royal Parker, the image jingle done by Frank Gari using the tagline "We'll Take You There."

I believe that was Rudy Miller with the little girl on the horse.

Is that Stan Stovall with a full beard?

Yes that's Stan from his first run at 11, before WCAU and WMAR.

The WTYT jingles can be heard at WJXT in the 1980s.

What I can't believe that Norm Lewis had hair back then. Just before his retirement he was bald at one time. Nice seeing a video with Vince Bagli WBAL's Sports Director.

Awesome promos. Dig that music! WJXT used that theme from 1983-92.

Thanks for posting these. I remember that last bit, where they read the headlines while the teletype printed, like it was yesterday. It was actually kind of freaky how it took me back to my youth.
