TheShadow Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 From YouTube, here's a couple of clips from 1984.The first one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7-stUfofi0 is a collection of KPRC promos from April 14-15, 1984. It's great to see Ron Stone, Doug Johnson and Bob Nicholas again from the days when Channel 2 was a station to be respected.The second one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYTxKZMtpXc is a collection of KTRK promos from February 1984. There is a "Good Morning Houston" promo as well as "Million Dollar Movie" bumpers. Plus, there's a "Live at Five" opening complete with mustached Bob Boudreaux.Go through the guy's videos. He has old commercials for Joske's, Foley's, Levitz(you'll love it at Levitz) and Stereo Warehouse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texianjoe Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Great post. I miss Bob Boudreaux. Does anyone know what happened to him. If you listen without looking you'ld think you were listening to Tom Kock. I miss the styles and the hair. Not the hair styles they were a pain to maintain, I mean the hair, I had hair in '84.joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I love the Muse Air commercials. That was a GOOD airline! Damn Southwest bought them out and then put them under.You can't describe it, you just gotta fly it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1fd Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Wow. I was 4 years old then. I can't believe Channel 2 covered the Colony Mall fire in Nacogdoches. I remember that fire vividly...the flames must've been 5 stories high...we could see 'em from our front yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CE_ugh Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 so why did that oil company have a cache of machine guns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilioScotia Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) Wow. I was 4 years old then. I can't believe Channel 2 covered the Colony Mall fire in Nacogdoches. I remember that fire vividly...the flames must've been 5 stories high...we could see 'em from our front yard.I worked at KEEE/KJCS Radio at the time, and I was out on the street covering that fire live on the radio. It took out most of one side of the downtown square. Our studios were on the second floor of a bank on the other side of the square, so we had a ringside seat. And BTW, Channel 2 didn't "cover" the fire. The Lufkin TV station shared its video of the actual fire with TV stations all over the state. Out of town TV reporters came to Nacogdoches the next day to get "day after" shots of the damage. I remember a bunch of news helicopters flying in from all directions and landing in the parking lot behind Stone Fort Bank.

gonzo1976 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I totally forgot about Bob Nicholas. He was there for quite a while, eh?The KTRK music bumpers are interesting. If I'm not mistaken, the Million Dollar Movie bumper music was from "The Stunt Man." I've always been curious as to the bumper music KTRK used for the Sunday afternoon movie and the late night movie during those years. I remember what they sounded like, but I never knew what they were called or where it was from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL How long did you live in Nac?Actually, my wife and I lived in Lufkin from 1979 through 1988. I worked at KEEE/KJCS from 83 through 88. I commuted in every day to do the news on KJCS. Heck it's only 18 miles and it took me only 20 minutes to get to work. I may have been there the day you came through on your tour. Schools were always bringing classes in on field-trip tours. I was the funny looking guy in the small news room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
