Remember the sign offs, the test pattern.......then first thing in the a.m. the farm report, those were the days

I am confused which state that I am in with all the various bumpers and promos. Celebrating my birthday this week and these take me back to better days. Thanks FredFlix, great job!

when the weather was just right I could pick up svengoolie up from Chicago here in Michigan, it was a happy night when. could!

Channel 11 KSTW was legendary. Saturday was Star Trek, Voyage, Twilight Zone .. and the early Svenghoolie!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂Thanks Fred!!!!

I miss "local" stations. Growing up they often had the best programing around. BTW - There were pelanty of "afternoon" movie hosts as well. A collection of THEIR intoriductions woul dbe nice.

So very glad these moments of tv history are still here, thanks for your work on these posts.

My childhood. I watched all these Seattle stations growing up in the 80s.

It was nice to see some promos from my local NYC area. Good memories! 👍 Wow, Svengoulie's been doing that show for a long time! He was so young in that clip!

Wow, I haven't seen the K41 promo in forever. And it always came in snowy for the twin cities.

The promos for horror films reminds me that Michael Landon once starred in a horror movie called "I Was A Teenage Warewolf."

@14:00 I can't imagine Rich Koz's Svengoolie having the Penthouse pet of the year as a guest on the show today. LOL

I miss old local tv. There were local celebrities who always made appearances at fairs, festivals and school events. But my favorites were the “horror flick” shows. They usually had horrible flicks rather than horror, but the fun was watching their skits that often made fun of the movie. These shows are what inspired MST3k. And thanks to ME tv, Svenghoulie still reigns.

We had Sir Graves Ghastly in Detroit, he hosted a Saturday afternoon horror movie each week. Check him out, he was hilarious.

One and only TV 9 was WTOP in DC! Lots of local anchor shots. Now 9 is WUSA....

It's a sad day...we are half way thru this wonderful 31 days in May event from fabulous Fred. -thanx for the labor of luv!

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL-TY FOR SUCH GREAT MEMORIES

Svengoolie is now national.

No one showing disrespect for the anthem or the flag in those days.

Awsome, i wish you had one for Philadelphia love your work Flex 👍💯👏

You had the Seattle CBS KIRO 7 Nightmare Theater ran from the late 60s to the late 70s but there was a well known character - The Count - that introduced the monster/horror movies and did some skits in between the commercial breaks - it was Joe Tooie who was a station director that did it for fun as a character that he knew in the early days of television. Too bad there was not some clips of this - it was great stuff. I believe there are some buried on You Tube that I have seen. It would have been a really good way to show how local stations promoted their programs.

I'm glad that someone has the patience to put this together.

I remember the KBHK 44 promos from San Francisco.

Love these!!!

Cool to see "The Wild Wild West" intros.

Here in Buffalo, NY, back in the 60's and 70's, station WKBW channel 7 had weekly movie shows, the ones I recall were 'movie for a sunday afternoon'. 'big show of the week,' ' academy award theater (the intro and closing music was the theme from the movie 'The Bible' and to this day I still get chills hearing it) It's been over 40 years and I would love to see those intros and trailers again. BTW this was wonderful, thanks again ;)

I miss the past

Wish you'd do the old WTBS Night Tracks from the 80's!! Many nights watching that trying to sober up, LOL!!

A great compilation of local TV promos, especially those from Chicago's TV stations. And may add the National​ Anthem sign-off was a good finish. Thanks for the memories.

I can't keep saying the same thing on every video but here goes. Love it!!!!

I haven't seen the bad ending for at least two decades as I remember if you leave the TV on after that the poltergeist come out😁

This Superman intro was long before the 70's.....

Nice to remember Washington's WTOP-TV. "The One And Only TV 9".

Svengoolie is on Metv, every Saturday night.....i still watch him !

Also, I swore I heard Dan Ackroyd's voice for the retrontario one.

What a hoot! Thanks so much! Reminded me of our San Diego local movie show, Disasterpiece Theatre. It was wonderful. Also, reminded me of Count Floyd from SCTV. I was just going to suggest ending this "month of Fred" with the Sign Off/Star Spangled Banner, but you beat me to it :). Thanks again!

I was expecting Count Floyd

Totally awesome love it pretty cool nicely done with all ..thank you so much still awesome job

Oh Okay, that must have been the father. Here's the one I know, I LOVE Svengoolie, I watch him every Saturday Night on MeTV.A LONG time ago, we had WOR TV from New York. My niece used to watch Miss Molly on Romper Room

You know, everyone who grew up in a given city/market thinks THEIR guy (horror movie host, that is) is the be-all, end-all original guy. When I grew up it was Dr. Schock from Philly. But I have an excellent horror movie book called the "Psychotronic Encyclopedia" and in the introduction the author writes that HIS guy--Ghoulardi from Cleveland--was the original and everyone else was an imitator. Others cite Zacherly from NYC. Kinda funny how that plays out. Now, of course, kids today wouldn't know what the F I was talking about...

Thanks again Fred. 🌈

Svengoolie.... still on in the Quad Cities

18:17- "Turner time". David Letterman and Johnny Carson also started at the 35 to allow for channel surfing...

Svengoolie didn't look the same here.

I remember when t v went off the air at 12 midnight

Station sign offs. forgot about them. Now it's 24/7 home shopping/infomercials Speaking of local programming.... Any Sir Graves Ghastly from Detroit fans following FredFix's programming?

Rather disappointed that the Harrisburg-Baltimore-DC corridor was skipped over.

WGN Chicago's ident uses the intro of Roger Whittaker's The Last Farewell!

WILD WILD WEST!

WSNS-TV Chicago well represented

Since you ended the video with the traditional playing of the National Anthem, I think you should've played the drone tone (or whatever it's called) that's played non-stop until the station would normally start up broadcasting again.

I love your videos!! Could you please look out for the opening for "Scream Theater", that appeared Friday nights on WXYZ Channel 7 Detroit, in the late 70's and early 80's???? It was one of the best horror openings I can ever remember.

Good stuff!!

Great stuff! Do you think you find the intro to the Early Show that was broadcast on KNXT-L.A. from the seventies?

A young Lou Dobbs! And one i didn't know, Dick Clinger ( what a great name that is !).

When u was a kid I would Run around the dining room table with a towel Dropped around my neck And run around the table Watching the adventures of Superman

In the 60s and 70s Cincinnati had the cool ghoul. Looked a lot like svenghoolie

Fred. How do you find these great clips? Do you contact local tv stations?

Great stuff, Fred! I especially enjoy the promos from the NYC market. Is it my imagination, or is that Dan Ackroyd doing the voice-over for RETRONTARIO's ad for "The Wild, Wild West?"

Young(er) Svengoolie. Very cool.

I was wondering if you could find any local station promos from KBSCTV channel 52 Corona/ Los Angeles ( now called KVEA -Telemundo 52 ) , KHJ-TV channel 9 Los Angeles ( now called KCAL9 ) , KCOP channel 13 ( now called MyTv13 ), and KTLA channel 5 Los Angeles ( same call sign but now part of the CW network ).

Good ol analog signals

Both promos for "The Maltese Falcon" and "Pocketful Of Miracles" had one star that wasn't mentioned: Barton MacLane.

You know why TBS changed their programming to "5 after the hour and the half hour"? so that if you had a VCR and wanted to record from another network, you would miss 5 minuets of your other shows. In short, TBS, wanted to monopolize the recording public for their shows only.

they do some of them metv

I find these out of state channels really interesting though I can get WGN and TBS on cable, too bad channels in Los Angeles isn't mentioned here.

1:18 Who was the host of Monster Rally Movie? I hope he's still alive. I looked forward to this as much as I did for Son of Svengoolie. I was just trying to recall the name of this program and lo and behold the KZfaq algorithm shows me this video from 4 years ago. And what is the name of that theme music?

Oh yeah, I forgot about MetroMedia KTTV channel 11 Los Angeles ( now called FOX11 Los Angeles ).

What's the name of that hand clapping song that starts the video off?

Do you have anything on Friday Night Dead from WVAH 23 with Fat Drac as the horror host?

Hazel wasn't really 'strange'. A meddler yes. Strange no. And she ran that house.

Mr A, let me out!

Have any station breaks from WOC, Davenport, Iowa... WHBF, Rock Island, Illinois.. Or WQAD Moline, Illinois?

Uh, the guy who was doing the promo for the 8pm movie on ch 13 "the 400 blows" was a little bit creepy. Lol 😜

TV was fun back when local stations actually had local programs with local flavor! Anybody know "DR. Madblood" from Virginia? One of the unsung greats! www.madblood.net/

Here's one for ya: This was a staple in our house every Saturday Night. Saturday Night DEEEEEEEEAAAAAAD! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLp1pN2jvL6um4E.html

Wasn't Baffled a failed series?

What would we have done without this "classic" tv programming? Read a book, perhaps?

"where were you 50 years ago." Ummm...Not even a glint in my daddy's eye?
