Here are some bits from WPIX (channel 11 serving the New York City tri-state area), commercials and promos that were seen during a Saturday Movie in summer of 1986. Their classic station announcers, Bill Biery and Ralph Lowenstein, are heard. Video includes:
--Saturday Movie bump
--"Tom Horn" promo
--New York Department of Commerce-sponsored tourism spot (Billy Joel sings "New York State of Mind," Statue of Liberty, World Trade Center)
--"Will Continue" bump
--66 WNBC radio spot (Soupy Sales, Joey Reynolds, and Don Imus wielding the chainsaw)
--"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" promo (Robin Leach VO)
--another bump
--July prime-time programming station promo (movies, Yankees)
--promo for the 1971 TV movie "A Step Out of Line"...
--...which is also promoted in the Saturday Movie outro
And NO, other YouTubers, you may NOT hijack this video for your own channels--I'd prefer the views stay right here, thanks!
