January 1978
The Blizzard of ‘78
The worst winter storm in Ohio history struck before dawn on Thursday, January 26, 1978. With little advanced warning, The Blizzard of ’78 ferociously hammered northwest Ohio Thursday and into Friday. Transportation, business, industry, and schools were closed statewide for two days, with the normal pace of society not returning to the area for five days or more.
In this rare view into the WTOL 11 Vault, we present three rare station promos from January of 1978. Two of the three promos presented here speak specifically to our station’s strong commitment to our viewers during and after The Blizzard of ’78!
