My childhood just flashed before my very eyes.

[@Vaporvice84]

Same here. I've spent years looking through old commercials here on youtube to find all te ads I remembered seeing when I was a kid. This was the last one I needed to find. And now I found it. I'm actually tearing up.

[@martinjoseph3672]

It is crazy that we all felt something from this

[@YoBebeMama]

This brought a tear to my eyes. I remember these growing in Queens in the 80s 🥲 I used to daydream and want to visit all of those places 😌

Yes me too at my grandma house in Springfield Gardens

WWOR stomped WPIX in the ratings. UPN stomped The WB in the ratings and was more of a real Warner Bros. network despite being Paramount. I'm reviving UPN and creating WB, a real Warner Bros. network! No "The" before "WB," no Tribune, no frog, no "dubba," "dubba," "dubba." No FUCKING "Friends" reruns.

[@hectorbonilla9477]

I used to see this commercial very morning while I would get dressed for school. Fond memories.

[@tranzishun13]

The song is "It's for You" by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays. This song has always sort of haunted me in a good way. I remember seeing this as kid and found it very tranquil.

[@jayrehman4135]

It's funny how many people remember seeing this in the past and how they all found it soothing. I want to see the updated version though from the 90s, it had different scenes.

[@mleczoy99]

I remember this like yesterday when i was a child living in Queens back in the day.

[@robjackson5245]

I remember WWOR and my dad used to watch the news even before UPN after "Seinfeld" (on NBC [channel 4 in Brooklyn]).

[@sarathejapanesefrog]

Wow, I've been searching for this for so long!! And I'm apparently not the only one who remembers it. 43 year old from Elmont. I've had the music in my head for my whole life and I've always loved it. So glad to have found this ☺️

[@shortythepresident3913]

[@andythenerd3527]

Loved this as a kid. Later on, it turned out my roommate from California was a Pat Metheny fan. When he had that song on I flipped. All the great childhood memories came back.

[@tambehenry]

I love this. It brings me back to my childhood. It's amazing how so many people feel the same way.

@@roderickstockdale1678 I'm wondering to. TF? This station stomped WPIX in the ratings. Only incels and dorks watched WPIX. And racists too.

The music in the background is by Pat Metheny called "It's for you".

No idiot, WWOR stomped WPIX in the ratings. So no. Most people remember this. Lame incels remember WPIX. If there are even people who remember it. UPN also stomped The WB in the ratings. UPN/Warner Bros./WB flagship. "Bey," "TNG," "DS9," "Downey Jr" stomped all of WPIX's crap.

[@anthonychobotdoespopcultur7762]

I remember this I bring me back to my childhood

[@ofudgems]

Ahh the good old days of TV, how I miss that time. {sigh} Now we're stuck with the WB and UPN. R.I.P. WPIX and WWOR.

[@zechs3]

Hot dam this comment about nostalgia gave me nostalgia, this is what the internet is for. Time capsule within time capsule.

[@robjackson5245]

UPN stomped The WB. WWOR was great pre-UPN, during UPN and post-UPN. You're an idiot. And I'm reviving UPN and creating WB, a real Warner Bros. network, no "The" before "WB," no Tribune, no frog, no "dubba," "dubba," "dubba." And it's The WB, with a capital T, it wasn't a true Warner Bros. network plus it was unpopular.

[@CC927]

The beautiful scenery & soothing music.

[@shortythepresident3913]

I come here once a year to remember my father sometimes. He was dying and i remember us sitting on the couch watching this everyday with him at 9 a.m. as a young 8 year old kid in the summer. He knew he was dying and i knew he was dying. But we watch TV and loved the enchanting music of the community calender. I found the actual song (I won't say). But for some reason, its just better this way. Thank you.

[@roderickstockdale1678]

What happened?

[@robjackson5245]

Nevermind thats him youre right. I think his Transatlantic accent was more for show and public appearances. He clearly has a modern day accent. Wait he died? HOW SAD I was gonna give that guy an honorary position in my UPN revival. UPN/Warner Bros./WB flagship FTW.

[@johnissoevil]

Wishing him and Tonken were still with us. Would love to hear their voices on My 9 one last time. Having one of those two announcing Chasing New Jersey at the open of the show would make the 2013 shutdown of the news department less painful.

[@addonnis718]

I used to wait for these to come on right after the Muppet babies and later on Mr Bogus ans Widget the world watcher.

[@lilroc7655]

Great stuff,so many memories! Nice relaxing music and beautiful scenery! Bring it back!

[@ariesarethebest271]

Thank you for uploading this! It brings back so many pleasant childhood memories for me. I've thought about this commercial (more specially, it's music) for a very long time due to the impression it left on me. As a kid/teen, I would stop what ever I was doing as soon as I heard it because the music would catch my attention and just take me away. I grew up listening to the NY tri-state area smooth jazz station, CD101.9 and discovered the Pat Metheny Group. Many years later, I was looking through the Pat Metheny Group's tunes and discovered that Pat Metheny and his amazing musical partner, Lyle Mays composed (It's For You) the tune used in this community calender commercial. It blew my mind when I found the tune after not hearing it for so many years. I started to cry tears of joy. Thank you again.

[@johnissoevil]

Same here. They only stopped doing the Community Calendar 9 years ago. Wish My9 would bring it back.

[@rocker1821]

Always loved the music

[@johnissoevil]

I do have info for the voice in this video. It's the late Ted Mallie, longtime staff announcer for WOR-TV/WWOR-TV.

[@laserbender2773]

I remember seeing this on TV during the summer of the late 80's and watching these and reruns of My Favorite Martian.

Same here, man. And in 1999, right before Family Feud.

[@dereklangley8582]

I liked this station when I was a kid. Played a lot of shows from the 80s.

[@robjackson5245]

Most in New York did.

[@Vaporvice84]

I've spent years searching for all the ads I remembered from my childhood. This was the last one I needed to find. I'm almost crying right now. It's exactly as I remembered it. I knew this was it before it was over just by my memories and seeing the bridge at dusk confirmed it. I think I liked this commercial because it reminded me of the end credits to "Flight of the Navigator", one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. THANKS SO MUCH!!!

[@8644mec]

So awesome, and this seems like it's from the winter of 1989....as that's the only time that the Detroit Pistons were playing the Nets on Febuary 25th (as said in the calender events). Such a great piece of NYC tv history.

[@inversion66]

I wonder how many TV stations back in the day called segments like this community calendar. They used the term in my part of Canada.

[@robjackson5245]

Obviously not WPIX because they were too smug and self-congradulatory about themselves. Typical Bob Menendez type crap. No wonder WWOR stomped them in the ratings. Warner Bros. has menace and cool to it. Tribune's attempt at remaking WB in its own image had no menace or culture. It's like watching a gangster movie but instead just caca culture rather than the old songs that made the Bugsy, Garduñas of Spain, Ljunggren. They didn't have the friendly warmth of UPN either. The WB came off like those smug shitstain "Friends"-watching "Seinfeld"-hating classmate you had in every Northern high school who thought they were better because they were part of the academic clubs in every high school, and had a smug air of superiority of themselves. A bad example but if you've ever seen Peck in "Ghostbusters" that's The WB right there. A shitty movie.

[@robjackson5245]

New York is the crown jewel market make no mistake - and WABC, WNBC and WNYW are testimony to that, not to mention all their networks (which all make excellent shows, ABC maybe have the most stuck up of the ones I mentioned, but still not as bad as CBS) to some decree, minus ABC, were the underdogs of networks, which is why Warren Littlefield thought it was OK to disrespect NBC in the 90s by making it a copy of CBS - and an Allied Nordicist Yankee "Friends"-watching "Seinfeld"-hating platate of shows - "Friends" being the number 1 (I mean that show was so unpopular it should have been on CBS). But northern NJ's stations and their city's of origin, have all dominated WPIX and WCBS in the ratings, the least popular stations in the City - WWOR of Secaucus, WNJU of Linden-Elizabeth and WXTV of Patterson. And WWOR was even international because they (as WOR-TV back before MCA bought them in 1986) aired Nuyorican and Italian programming, making them a nice hybrid of themselves, WNJU and WXTV.

Bob Menendez is the New Jersey that loves "Friends" is Allied Nordicist Yankee, hates "Seinfeld" and is unpopular and loves The WB and CBS. He's not popular and he tried to crush this station, when it stomped his favorite stations - WCBS and WPIX, in the ratings. WWOR is the New Jersey that's cool. Secaucus as a market stomped WPIX. And there's nothing New York about WPIX one bit. It's just a rehashing of equally shitty WGN in Chicago. The WB sucked balls and UPN stomped them in the ratings and UPN was more Warner Bros.ish.
