WJRT-TV 12 in Flint had a version of this as well. "Hello Michigan, Hello Mid-Michigan... TV 12's caring for you..." I don't think any station in Detroit ever used it though. Their loss.
Thanks for posting this. They did a feature on the various versions of this song on the 3/7-3/8 version of This American Life, and I could have sworn there was one for Channel 3.
I was driving home from a visit to my hometown in west Michigan when that This American Life episode came on the, and it brought back such strong memories that I had to pull my car over and call my dad to talk about it :P !
I was watching old commercials from Milwaukee and heard a variant of this song (circa 1977). It sounded familiar and I realized that the local (Memphis) CBS affiliate used it in the early 80s. Wonder how many different versions there are out there?
Iconic!
I'm 49yrs old this song still is in my head.lol
Taped at WWMT from the 1980s in the Sturgis, Michigan area.
I thought I had a false memory of this promo until finding this on TH-cam. Thank you!

There are a bunch of them! Search "Hello calgary song other cities" and find the playlist. My favorite is Hello Acadiana one from Lafayette, LA.
The Corpus Christi version is much better
Only if you live in Corpus Christi. XD
🎵Channel Three loves you!🎵
