I added eighteen more ads today, all from May 1980 plus two more Random Pages gallery additions, by Norman Dresser, from Peach Sections of The Blade. There's a Friday, 5/16/80 story, “Ch. 30 To Show Highlights Of Festival” (1980 International Festival), and a Friday, 5/30/80 story, “CBS Entry Into Cable Programming Signals Vast Change For Industry.” Both of those stories were followed by other TV-Radio items as well. There are three additions to the Channel 11 gallery, including two more for Star Trek on The Big Show, a Monday, 5/19/80 ad and a Wednesday, 5/21/80 ad. There's also a Tuesday, 5/20/80 ad, another one for The Ohio Lottery. There's one addition to the Channel 11 News gallery, a Saturday, 5/24/80 ad for a personal appearance by Charles Merlin Umpenhour at Woodville Mall.
