I actually remember the commercial for the "Fun Rock" collection when I was 4 and the grandma lip-synching "don't talk back" always creeped me out.

I remember one commercial they used to air repeatedly [and which I thought was rather amusing] where a nun with boxing gloves urged people to watch Channel 62. She punched the numbers 6 & 2 then she said with a smile ''Make it, a habit."

@@40TheFreshMan Thanx for the info! It's starting to come back now. I fondly remember those old Detroit WGPR 62 days. Chuck Johnson's Soul Beat was something I watched regularly. I dimly recall in the 70's, Ch 62 had a Black horror movie host. I enjoyed it but he only had a brief run & then he was gone. Not sure but I think even The Ghoul was on 62 a few times. Nice to revisit those memories on KZbin.

2:04 I remember this foolish commercial. It’s painful to watch. Hugely enjoyed the black cowboy commercial and the nightclub commercial. Love the low budget production. If I lived in Detroit, I would have watched this station even though I’m white.

I would have as well. However, very few people shared our sentiment until it became a CBS affiliate in the mid-1990s. WGPR was always perennially at or near the bottom of Detroit's television ratings, and the weak broadcast signal it had didn't help either. However, its sister radio station at 107.5 FM was moderately successful, and was more than likely probably what helped keep the TV station from going dark.

Does anyone know who the guy is who gives out the tollfree number for music collection add? In the 70’s and 80’s and early 90’s he announced those numbers all the time, and was heard just about everywhere.

I want to say his name is Vic Caroli. On several other record/products offers videos in the comments sections featuring the same guy's voice, that name keeps coming up.

Rudy Iraheta no CBS was not always on 62, WWJ signed on in 1975 as WGPR a black owned and operated independent station. The original cbs affiliate in Detroit was WJBK 2 Jesus Christ omg 🙄🙄

Phil Ouellette thank you, because Channel 62 signed on in September 1975 as WGPR Detroit’s first black owned and operated station. That black owned and operated status came to an end on December 11,1994 when it took the CBS affiliation from WJBK 2 due to the big switch.

@mayavenuemisfit8148 ай бұрын
Nobody watched WGPR. It was always Detroit's lowest-rated television station, and even today as a CBS affiliate still is near the bottom of the ratings. Therefore, they took whatever scraps advertisers were willing to throw at them, and filled the rest of their commercial space with aforementioned PSAs.
