6:50 Wow, that Texas one is the best audio quality I've ever heard of the '87 Something's Happening campaign. Great find! I've been scouring the internet every couple of years since the days of RealPlayer clips for HQ uploads of this specific campaign. I wish I could find the general one in that quality.Great song, great spot, great memories! A bygone era; networks won't have that level of TLC ever again--and streaming could never.

I remember watching a video that had 0:00 before the Kidsongs TV Show, which aired in 1987.

Time to do something i've always wanted to do. Come up with a comment for every single station's ident(s)! SPOILERS! KTVI: You go for too long. Make it 5 seconds not 10. WBRZ: oh... that's poor lip syncing on an abc station. KOTA: Still Moment WHSV: This makes me feel cozy, as if this would be something i'd see before bed. KTVX: Whoops, accidentally strung in Napoleon Shipping. WTAE: Whoops, forgor to do the string. KAAL: You didn't need THAT much cities to be mentioned. WPVI: Jeopardy i guess KABC: You didn't even make it local. You just slapped your logo and called it a day. KVIA: This is WVVA-Level stuff, but at least it has some sort of charm to it. WKBW: Where my what is? WXYZ:Animal What-now? KAIT: What channel are you on again? WFAA: Man, your visuals look amazing! WMTW: Haha spin go brrrrr KTXS: You put Texas in your area, nice. KSAT: It's fine. WPRI: You slapped your logo onto it. What else am i supposed to say? WLOX: At least you lip synced it correctly. WSET: Such inspiration WAPT: Misplaced? WAND: Then how does a country look 200? WJKS: Who's that character at 9:05? WUTR: This Ident isn’t Good- I MEAN, THIS IS 100/10, HEH! WAKC: Stereo Stereo Stereo Stereo Stereo Stereo Stereo Stereo Stereo Stereo Stereo Stereo WOLO: Nice Logo KLAX: Oh come on, you couldn’t time your music properly? WAAY: Man they need to fix their audio levels. KSPR: Still 🤮 WMGC: I’m not sure if something’s happening on TV 34 yet. WTVQ: Oh come on you couldn’t even keep your logo on for long enough? WUHQ: *DominoFallingSound.ogg* WMDT & W27AJ: I’m surprised they don’t end at what they usually end.
