“We’re watching you!” What a creepy motto for a local station. Sign offs, off air signs, and technical difficulty bumpers scared the crap out of me as a kid.
In that Massengill commercial, the girl on the left is Jayne Modean, who did tons of commercials in the late '70s and early '80s and occasionally guested on TV series. She still doesn't look that different today from when she was younger.

Amityville Horror -Percy Rodrigues and Adolph Caesar were killing it with the trailer voice-overs for horror movies Minolta- with Caitlyn Jenner's long lost brother Bruce Navy- Weekend pass time Station sign off- was the cue to go to sleep.. if you didn't have cable you were out of luck unless your local PBS station was still on lol
Ironically, here in my home state of Iowa, PBS signed off at midnight for a while in recent years while they were dealing with budget cuts. They are now back on the air 24 hours a day.
The differences between the music of the late 70's (post disco) and mid 80's are actually pretty subtle, namely the arrival of digital synthesizers like the Yamaha DX7 and gated reverb on drums th-cam.com/video/Bxz6jShW-3E/w-d-xo.html Bands like the Cars and Blondie were basically already recording "80's music" in 1978

Rather Orwellian, wat wat?
@Sean Wilkinson Those emergency broadcast tests freaked out my family's cat in the 1980's. When that sound came on, he ran for dear life!
We live 8 miles from Metter and the Guido Gardens (Seeds from the Sower)...awesome commercial collection :)
"Just what I needed"... thank you!
Remembered hearing those Seed From the Sower spots often as a kid. Never knew there was a television version of those devotionals.

I was wondering when I'd finally see some from my area. WAFF is still here.
Huntsville native. In my 20s and a former media communications major.
Finding local vintage broadcasts makes the comms nerd in me happy.
0:26 - Was this logo inspired by Close Encounters of the Third Kind, because it makes me think of it when I see it.

Yup, BJ & the Bear was basically Every Which Way but Loose, except with better looking women.
Wow, so Luther Vandross hummed some bars for the "proud as a peacock" theme.
bmorefunnyman also with Patti Austin!
It was absolutely beautiful
@7:35 that soundtrack is way ahead of its time. Sounds like what would be common in the mid 80s with Miami Vice and the like.

There the proud as a peacock theme, then there's the parody that Fred Silverman tried to eradicate
Lancers...only in the 1970s could you market a wine in a bottle the color of shit...
