Thank you, there were always record collection commercials back in those days. For $16.95 you get 25 years worth of Dick Clark’s best hits on 3 8-tracks or cassettes. 😅
For a long time, Toledo never had a real independent station to call it's own, so 50 (and a lesser extent, WXON 20) was the go-to channels we had prior to WUPW TV36 in 1985. Of course that's all in the past since Fox and other newer networks dominated these indie stations soon enough.
Given the circumstances, Windsor's TV was pretty limited on the Canadian side without cable. They only had CBC (CBET 9), CTV (via CKCO's Sarnia transmitter on 42), TVOntario (32) and Global (22).
Sooo strange, to know that I MUST have seen at least some, if not all, of these, but not to remember a single one...the only thing that's familiar is the ubiquitous blue screen with the toll free numbers and "C.O.D" on them! Equally funny to think that these all came out the same year I first saw Empire Strikes Back...
I wouldn't know. most of the tapes have inaccurate labels for the shows, and i don't keep records of what commercials are where. if you know when they aired, keep an eye out for the dates, as the youtube community has been really great at pinning down recording dates for me.
