March 2, 2014: Better Than Barcelona!

 

There are twelve more ads today, all from June 1992, plus five more Random Pages gallery additions from pages of The Blade. The first four are Peach Section stories by Tom Ensign, starting with a Monday, 6/1/92 story, "Channel 30 Getting Into the Weather Biz." Next is a Tuesday, 6/2/92 story, "Ch. 11 Manager Foresees Few Problems With CBS Fee Plans." There's also a Thursday, 6/4/92 story, "News Director Leaving WTVG" and a Thursday, 6/11/92 story, "Anniversary Surprise Greets Dean of Radio / TV Newsmen," about Don Edwards celebrating 30 years in Toledo broadcasting. And there's a Monday, 6/15/92 Business section story by Mary-Elizabeth McLaughlin, "Whitman Ford Making Most of Car Tune." I'll warn you now that after reading this story, the Car 54, Where are You? tune might be stuck in your head for hours! There are ten additions to the Buckeye CableSystem gallery, the first six for NBC's Olympics Triplecast of the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. There's a Monday, 6/1/92 ad (Volleyball), a Tuesday, 6/2/92 ad (Track and Field), a Friday, 6/5/92 ad (Basketball), a Monday, 6/8/92 ad (Tennis), a Tuesday, 6/9/92 ad (Swimming) and a Thursday, 6/11/92 ad (Wrestling). Plus there are more to come in the week ahead. There's also a Monday, 6/1/92 ad for Real Life on CNBC. Next are two ads for HBO, a Monday, 6/8/92 ad for the movie, "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" (Kevin Costner) and a Tuesday, 6/9/92 ad (Get HBO while it's hot). And there's a Thursday, 6/11/92 ad for Headline News (Don Harrison).

The last ad today is an addition to the Other Vintage ads gallery, a Wednesday, 6/3/92 ad for Ohio Citizens Bank (We're having a loan sale. Bring your friends), similar to a 3/28/91 ad and a 4/2/91 ad. More June 1992 ads, from the online archives of The Toledo Blade are on the way...
