September 5, 2013: Holy Toledo, Batman!

I added ten more ads today, all from March 1988 plus one more Random Pages gallery addition, a Friday, 3/25/88 Blade Peach Section “Television by Tom Ensign” story, “CableSystem Inaugurating 'Pay Per Program' Sunday.” It also includes other items, on new CableSystem channels and new hires at channels 13 and 24. There are two additions to the Channel 36 gallery, both of them for “Family Fair '88” at Toledo Seagate Centre. There's a Thursday, 3/17/88 ad (Clint Eastwood) and a Saturday, 3/19/88 ad (Adam West as Batman, Burt Ward as Robin). There are five additions to the PBS gallery, all for channel 30, including a Tuesday, 3/15/88 ad for James Taylor in Concert. Next is a Thursday, 3/17/88 ad for the movie, “The Road to Utopia” (Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour, Bing Crosby), followed by a Saturday, 3/19/88 ad for Country Music Crossroads (Randy Travis, Reba McEntire, Marie Osmond). There's also a Sunday, 3/20/88 TV Tab ad for Viewer's Choice. There was a choice of three movies, “The Absent Minded Professor,” “The Plainsman” and “Welcome Stranger.” The last one is a Monday, 3/21/88 ad for another movie, “The Quiet Man” (John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara). There's one addition to the Buckeye CableSystem gallery, a Tuesday, 3/22/88 ad for The Blade Instantnews on CableSystem Channel 11A / Ch 14A. There's one addition to the Radio Station Ads gallery, too, a Tuesday, 3/29/88 ad for the NBC Talknet team on WSPD-AM (Bruce Williams, Neil Myers, Dara Welles, Bob Madigan, Dr. Harvey Ruben). Today's last ad is an addition to the Other Vintage ads gallery, a Thursday, 3/31/88 ad for Tony Packo's Cafe (The Cakewalkin' Jass Band). April 1988 ads, from the online archives of The Toledo Blade are on the way...
