WNEW 5, "Channel 5 Movie Club" Bits, March 1985

These clips were taken from a recording of WNEW (New York City's channel 5, now WNYW), March 23rd, 1985. It was "Academy Award Weekend," with movies hosted by Dina Merrill and Keir Dullea. This one was the "Channel 5 Movie Club," shown on Saturdays at 11pm, with "Mister Roberts" as the selection.
First up is a bump for the weekend event, then a commercial for Formby's Furniture Refinisher (with Homer Formby). It has a local chyron superimposed at the end, mentioning long-gone businesses Rickel, Pergament, TSS Seedman, and Channel Home Centers.
Next is a spot for Nexxus hair products, not local but maybe regional. It's awfully 80's, especially the yacht-rock jingle: "Nexxus gets you noticed... anywhere!" A short "West Side Story" promo follows, and then the C5MC scrolls some coming attractions (accompanied by Percy Faith's version of "Where Is Your Heart," from "Moulin Rouge"--the biggest-selling song of 1953!).
"Anchors Aweigh" is promo'ed next, with a title bump, and then the full promo for all Sunday's films. Dina and Keir do their hosting thing before a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" promo and title bump. Matt Lauer, also now out of business, teases the next "PM Magazine," with a story on Mamie Van Doren.
Detailed instructions for how to join the Movie Club are read, and honestly I'm not sure if the announcer is Ed Ladd or a restrained Tom Gregory (I'm thinking the latter but hopefully someone with a better ear can tell me). Finally, Eastern Airlines maintained "We earn our wings every day"--until January 19th, 1991, anyway, when operations ceased for good.

I've mentioned this before on something you posted years ago, but I have a tape of the very same Channel 5 Oscar Weekend you're showing here--except my copy has "The African Queen" (with no ads) and "San Francisco" (which DOES have ads, and is the movie that airs right after "Mister Roberts"). Also a copy of "The Adventures of Robin Hood" on another tape (No Ads, but a Tom Gregory tag at the end plugging an Oscar Preview show)... I know this seems like a weird thing to get excited about, but it's always cool to see more pieces of a puzzle put together; the "Puzzle" in this case being what a FULL broadcast day looked like way back when.

Trust me, I get it! I only have one TV Guide from 1985 (Fall Preview) and one Newsday TV Book (Christmas), as my personal nostalgia sweet spot runs about 1974 to 1983. Since the majority of the tape trove I discovered is 1984-86, I can't always verify these dates and times so easily. I believe I just have this and Mildred Pierce from this particular weekend.

Tom Gregory on the ending V/O, it's gotta be. Ed Ladd could not sound like the Metromedia Man!

That’s what I thought, but he sounds much more subdued than usual…
