ANOTHER BLAST FROM THE PAST


Came across a videotape of the film “Midway” as broadcast by CBS over its Rochester, New York affiliate WROC-TV on June 6, 1992.

Promos included next Saturday’s film “Born on the 4th of July”, “Northern Exposure”, “Lonesome Dove”, “60 Minutes”, “Maury Povich”, “Grapevine”, “The Hollywood Game”, “Raven”, “Bodies of Evidence”, The McDonald’s Championship golf tournament, men’s lacrosse and track and field, and a tribute to “Guiding Light.”

Commercials included Hanes, Wisk laundry detergent, Crest toothpaste, the Aquafresh toothbrush, Max Factor, Pantene Pro-V, Vibrance, Pledge, FDS feminine deodorant spray, the Playtex 18 hour bra, McDonald’s pizza, Little Caesar’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, Kellogg’s Frosted Mini-wheats, Country Time, Maxwell House Cappuccino, Molson Canadian, Jeep, AT&T, Sprint featuring Candice Bergen, Kingsford charcoal, and Kardasin DC.

News teasers for the 11:00 news with Jerry Fiore included a Rochester man being stabbed to death, a one percent increase in the sales tax and sports items.

It must have been taped by someone who received TV by antenna because the broadcast got completely blurry and unintelligible at some points.
