Old Local TV

[Matt Molnar]

I really enjoy watching old local TV clips from the 80s and 90s. I found a few neat ones today:

Channel 2 News at 6:00, circa 1985:

This isn't local, but it's awesome...a commercial for an appetite suppressant called "Ayds" from 1982, before the public became aware of AIDS. "Ayds helped me get back into a size 12.":

Nice, I remember the Action News, not old enough to remember the others.

Though this is recent, remember the roller derby of the mid 80's?

On WPIX-11, does anyone remember "Shocktober"? They always put horror movies and stuff on around Halloween.
