WIVB Clips from 1988

A CBS ident, a Hills Department Store commercial, and a News 4 Buffalo christmas commercial from 1988. Also features a Christmas ident from WIVB-TV Buffalo, New York from 1988. Sorry about that tracking line near the bottom, that was the best I could do.

That was from December 1988. You could tell because the CBS ID that was on the clip is from the "Television You Can Feel" campaign that was used for the 1988-89 Season

Love the hair styles! Big, 80's hair. I think it was hairspray alone that caused the ozone whole...

@blazenbee: i can only remember one other wgrz logo prior to the "nbc 2" logo that's been used for the last 13 years...i remember the one with the dual lined "2" that looked like a "Z" that was used around 1988. wivb has had their current red and white "4" logo for their microphone flags and set since late 1992...

I have not seen a hills store since I was a little kid. The store near by became Ames in 1998 and then they toe that down to build a plaza with Target.

I'll be in Buffalo for Christmas and I hope I hear the song.

What the heck is the artist/name of the song being used for the WIVB Holidays promo? I keep hearing this on the radio but i cant find the name. Its like a 1980s Deck the Halls Techno song-lol
