When I was 10 years old living in St. Charles, MO. I may have watched this program when it first aired.

For the age of the tape it held up amazingly well. Pretty cool to go back 40 years and see what the world was like. when I was like two years old...

The fact that Elliot Davis just retired is amazing. He really has been integral in St. Louis for longer than I've been alive. Amazing career.

Opening the newscast with Mayoham's On Top of it All, and closing the newscast with instrumental cut of "Still the One" from ABC's promo campaign (1977-78 and 1979-80 seasons). NICE!!

Awesome to see a black man on a vintage newscast for a change! That was quite a progressive move for what at the time was an ABC station (it's now a Fox affiliate). Then CBS-affiliate WJKW (in Cleveland) also gets progressive points for having a black woman anchoring its newscasts in the late 1970s.

KMOX-TV at the same time had another African American; Julius Hunter, who enjoyed a very long career in TV news. Donn Johnson worked for KTVI well into the 2000s.

@@alexking660 Many of the videos on my YT channel are from St. Louis television from the 80s. Many are national broadcasts, but there are local cut-ins and commercial inserts. As I got many requests to leave the commercials in the videos I did not create any with just commercials. Feel free to go through the videos and pull out any local St. Louis commercials you want. Since I don't own the rights to those commercials I can not accept any money for them.

Thanks so much for posting this. There is an amazing segment on St. Louis's first gay pride march. To my knowledge, this is the only surviving video footage from that pivotal day. I am an employee of the Missouri History Museum in St. Louis and am working on collecting material related to local gay and lesbian history. Would you be willing to share this file with the museum? I can be reached at . Thank you again.

It was on an old video tape (a Quasar video tape [the old Motorola consumer electronic sub-brand]) from my in laws. The ABC Sunday night movie that night was "The Sting." They had recorded that and, I assume, let the tape run long in case the movie was delayed for some reason.

A lot of well known actors and actresses got their foot in the door of the business by doing commercials. If yolu go through some of the commercials from decades ago that are on You Tube you can see many of them. Sometimes they are tagged and sometimes it's like what you just did "Hey! Isn't that the...."
