WYAH 27 Portsmouth VA 1985

Commercials during 2001 Space Odyssey movie ......when Pat Robertson owned the station

Bob Walker was their primary voice-over guy back then. I worked upstairs in radio (WXRI) around this time and knew Bob well. He was somewhat reserved, but liked to laugh. I enjoyed knowing him.

You can tell the budget was none too different from what Pat was doing on CBN Cable Network!

[@voiceofjeff]

I was working at WXRI, the CBN Radio station that was housed in the same building as WYAH around this time. I always got the impression that CBN thought of WYAH and WXRI as the red-headed bastard stepchildren that they wanted to forget about. They sold off radio in 1989, and TV shortly after so I guess I was right!

@@voiceofjeff Interesting.

Either movies were super cheap back in the day or WYAH/CBN spared no expense in getting films like that. The olden days of WYAH before they became WGNT. Don't miss the muted curse words though. That was weird.

I bet. Pat wouldn't want it any other way!
