WTNH Commercial Breaks (September 29, 1987)
WTNH Commercial Breaks (September 29, 1987)
Taken from Moonlighting on ABC affiliate WTNH (channel 8) in New Haven, Connecticut, serving the Hartford-New Haven television market. This was the season premiere.
New shows for ABC that fall included the ever popular Full House, Thirtysomething, Hooperman, I Married Dora, The Slap Maxwell Story, and Dolly, a variety show hosted by Dolly Parton. The show Once a Hero was also a new offering, but it only lasted three episodes.
(C) 1987 Cook Inlet Television Partners; WTNH is now owned by Nexstar Media Group. All rights go to their respective owners, same for the advertisements. For educational and historical purposes only. We do not profit off this video.
This was when WTNH Channel 8 was at the top of its game. Their Make It 8 campaign is remembered to this day in the New Haven market, and for a time WTNH was on some cable systems in Fairfield County though it’s technically the NYC market. You would have to live in New Haven County at least to get 8 these days or have FiOS or Frontier in Fairfield County.
I say I love this video clip of the WTNH Commercial Breaks (September 29, 1987). Do you have the full video of WTNH Action News 8 Late Editon weeknight newscast without commercials from December 24, 1986 that you can post for me please?
