1980/81 KYW Philadelphia Eyewitness News Commercial

This was the commercial with the almost horror movie trailer voice over that ran in the very final days of the Direct Connection news format in December of '80 into January of '81. Sorry about the crap quality as this is from a worn VHS recording direct from the TV back then, and not from a video master like the others.

I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of KYW-TV's Channel 3 Eyewitness News' Direct Connection Video Promo From December 1980.

The Philadelphia Skyline is cool.

@tkaye2 That's him. I thought it would have been a couple of years later before Dark starting doing work with NBC.

@ekt8750 That's Danny Dark, who was the "voice of NBC" through much of the '80s.

Good God. Are you sure this is a promo for a NEWSCAST? The disco music alone is upsetting.

That announcer still scares the shit out of me to this day.
