January 6, 2015: 100 Years of The Toledo Mud Hens

 

There are ten more ads today, all from July 1996 plus one more Random Pages gallery addition, a Monday, 7/8/96 Blade Peach Section story by Chris Borrelli, "Launce Loses His WJR Morning Show" which also includes two other items, one on additions to channel 13's newsroom, and one on "in-studio remotes" on channels 11 and 13. There's one addition to the Channel 24 gallery, a Sunday, 7/14/96 ad for The Editors, "100 Years of The Toledo Mud Hens" with Frank Gilhooley and Jim Weber joining Blade editor Tom Walton and sportwriter Clyde Hughes. There are five additions to the Buckeye CableSystem gallery starting with a Wednesday, 7/10/96 ad for "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" on Flix, followed by another 7/10/96 ad, for Murder, She Wrote on USA (Angela Lansbury). Next is a Thursday, 7/11/96 half-page ad (Customize your local service with SelectChannels). There are two more for USA, another 7/11/96 ad, for "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" (John Candy, Steve Martin) and a Monday, 7/15/96 ad for The Big Date (Mark Wahlberg). The last ad's headline was "Tonight on The CableSystem" but should have been "Today on The CableSystem" since the show was on at 3:30 PM. There's one addition to the ToledoVision 5 gallery, a Saturday, 7/13/96 ad for The Wendy's Classic. There are also three additions to the Other Vintage ads gallery, a Thursday, 7/11/96 ad for Rapids Rally Days in Grand Rapids, Ohio, followed by a Saturday, 7/13/96 ad for a Reba McEntire concert at UT's Savage Hall. Today's last ad is a Sunday, 7/14/96 full-page ad for the grand opening of Koh'ls (We'll be making BRAND NEWS...in Franklin Park). More July 1996 ads, from the online archives of The Toledo Blade are on the way...
