What up! This channel focuses on uploading compilations of retro commercials, channel promos, etc from California for both informational and entertainment purposes. Generally I edit the videos in the order the tapes are recorded, all the distortion and lines etc are real and not added in lol.
I loved watching home improvement and the drew Carey show. I guess I watched a lot of channel 7 and 11 as a kid. And the Saturday cartoons on the WB when ktla carried it, WB was far superior to the CW. Thanks for this
Do you maybe have a collection of Gottschalks commercial from Fresno? This is a piece of presumably lost media and I’ve been trying to find it. It’s really important to myself as my mom is in it. The commercial aired on Fox 26 kmph and some other channels like these ones, and it aired somewhere from 1995-1997
Stephanie Edwards, that’s as california as it gets. I still remember her from the Lucky ads, but then hearing her every year once the rose parade came on. I freaking miss her on channel 5 every year. it just ain’t the same. like, I still watch, but it’s just that factor. Stephanie was to the rose parade like Al Roker is to Macy’s. just added a little something.
I was reintroduced to KVPT via HF Archive's preservation of the Station ID from I99I, literally on the same day that I found this upload of yours (April 025 of 2024), and up to now I am having trouble finding a specific piece of source material: The then~theme of KVPT is a seemingly rare track of the New Age genre, you hear it play in this variant of the ID (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fojI6K-Uo_s.html&ab_channel=HFArchive) and then again with a different portion of it in your upload at 01:29:24; what I cannot confirm at this time is whether or not the track is Proprietary or In~House due to its lack of ability to find using AHA Music Finder and its relevant equivalents, if it is the such then that would make it incredibly more difficult to find and without extra help on the search the trail will ultimately run cold for a bit, which is where I hope you could come into play on this. If you or anybody else that happens to come across this comment knows the history behind this particular Station ID's track and also know if the full version is available somewhere, please hesitate none to reach out and let us know; I've personally reached out to KVPT on the matter via the Valley PBS website, but that was back in May and I have not gotten a response at all from the network, it's moments such as this where having the community at the ready truly is important and wishfully one of us can finally have this be another mystery that gets properly solved.
KMTF is now KVPT since March 1, 1990 after its call letters were changed, and the KMTF Fresno Channel 18 sign-off at 25:52 is seen, and has been the Valley's Very Own PBS Station since its April 10, 1977 sign on. The KMTF call sign was later used on a Helena, Montana TV station on Channel 10 from 1998 to 2015, its call letters were changed to the current KUHM-TV on September 1, 2015, when Montana PBS took over.
15:12 I remember Lucky's, one opened in my town in the early '90s. I also remember when they merged with Albertson's, they advertised it like they were getting married lol
10:58 so California was screwing people over with the gas tax and not fixing the roads even back then. At least back then it was only ¢6, now it's nearly $2 a gallon with all taxes
