Take a trip back to New York City television in 1987 with this wonderfully nostalgic collection of original OTA commercials recorded during late-night movies on WNYW Channel 5 and WPIX Channel 11. 📼📺
These commercials originally aired during movie presentations including the Channel 5 Movie Club and WPIX 8 O’Clock Movie II, capturing that unmistakable feeling of settling in for a movie on local television during the late 1980s.
And this block is absolutely loaded with that warm, comfort-food 1987 commercial-break atmosphere, familiar jingles, fast food, household products, local spots, movie promos, network bumpers, and plenty of those commercials you probably haven’t thought about in nearly 40 years.
You’ll even catch some familiar faces, including John Goodman, along with appearances from The Jets and other wonderfully recognizable pieces of 1980s pop culture.
Enjoy the memories, Retronians!
