January 5, 2012: The Best in the Country

 

Normally I would have waited until Friday, the 6th to post today's ads but I won't have time tomorrow morning, so her they are, on Thursday night. I added 23 more ads from March and April 1970, seven of them in the Channel 11 gallery. There's a Saturday, 3/7/70 ad for Del Reeves Country Carnival and The Porter Wagoner Show, a Sunday, 3/8/70 ad for "Beau James" on The Sunday Show (Bob Hope) and a Tuesday, 3/10/70 ad for "Hot Summer Night" on The Big Show (Leslie Nielsen, Colleen Miller). Next is a Friday, 3/13/70 ad for Opening Day: Japan's Expo '70 with CBS News correspondent Charles Kuralt, followed by two Thursday, 3/19/70 ads, the first one for Campus Crusade (Pat Boone) and the second one for the CBS Dr. Seuss special, Horton Hears a Who. There's also a Tuesday, 3/24/70 ad for another CBS special, The Eskimo: Fight for Life and there are three more channel 11 ads in the News/Special Reports Ads gallery. There's a Saturday, 3/14/70 ad for The Crisis in Housing, a Monday, 3/16/70 ad for Projection 70: Education and a Tuesday, 3/31/70 ad for Project Eleven "You Can't Get Here From Here."

There's one more in the Channel 13 News gallery, a Monday, 3/30/70 ad for Frank Venner's award-winning weather reports on The Venner-Ward Report. There are two in the Channel 24 gallery, a Saturday, 3/28/70 ad for Big Time Wrestling and a Wednesday, 4/1/70 ad for Can You Top This? (Rose Marie). There are five ads in the Radio Station Ads gallery, three for WSPD and two for WOHO. There are two Friday, 3/6/70 ads for Down to Earth (Art and Shirl Landseadel) and Here, There & Everywhere with Don Wolfe, both on WSPD-AM 1370 and a Thursday, 3/19/70 ad for High School Basketball Semi-Finals with Roddford vs. Youngstown Boardman, also on 1370.
