WJAR-TV 10 - Providence - Sign-On - 1987

[@ka1wht]

Jim Mendes' voice and this video bring back fond memories of visiting my maternal grandparents on Mendon Avenue in Pawtucket in the 1980s. Channel 10 was almost always on in their living room, playing TV shows such as Columbo or Highway to Heaven. Afterwards, we'd get into my grandfather's dark blue Buick LeSabre and he treated us to Uncle Tony's for lunch or supper on Newport Avenue. :)

No, the announcer was a man named Jim Mendes, who was the staff announcer there for a long, long time.

What the jazz music background call?

The "broadcast house" at 111 Dorrance Street is now part of Johnson & Wales University's main Providence campus - IIRC that's where the main admissions office is.

That is the same sign-on as WIS-TV with the mention of the National Association of Broadcasters. Alan Katzer
