KMSP before its Fox (or UPN) days was one of the most succsessful independent stations in the midwest. Every morning was full of cartoons and fun for young twin cities children before school. Here is Tom Jerry's intro, credits, and promos for other shows.
Gleek's Exorian Monkey cousins come to invade Earth. Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Zan, and Jayna battle the monkeys in this thrilling Superfriends short.
One of my favorite Superfriends shorts that was in the "lost collection" that was being produced in 1983 during ABC's Superfriends hiatus. Guest starring Mexico's greatest Super Hero El Dorado
KMSP Minneapolis/St Paul, long before FOX and UPN, KMSP was an ABC affiliate for almost 20 years before ABC defected to KSTP in 1979. Throughout the 1970s KMSP tried to compete in the news game with KSTP and WCCO but was never able to find an audience.
WTCN Channel 11 Minneapolis/St Paul weekend newscast from Winter of 1985. Look for twin cities mainstay Barry ZeVan doing the weather. Also great commercials.
The opening and a few commercials from the 1986 season premier of Dallas. This of course was the season where Bobby showed up in Pam's shower a year after he was killed. Also check out commercials for Kate and Allie, and a CBS Newsbreak.
Stan Turner and Ruth Spencer bring you the Eyewitness News Update 10pm from May 1986. Live remote shots were new as Channel 5 was showing off the ability to have their main co anchor lakeside the day before the Minnesota fishing opener.
Random Commercials local and national from my archive of twin cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) vhs tapes. Taken from a recording from KSTP channel 5 in early 1985. Vintage Coca-Cola commercial, McDonalds, DBS, news and weather promos and more. Also listen for the KSTP announcer, you might hear him on KQRS.
KMSP Channel 9 of Minneapolis St Paul. These are commercials and promos that played between Casper and friends. Look for the old Message placard that was between commercial breaks featuring the Channel 9 cartoon lineup. Also look for great promos for Diffrent Strokes, Little House on the Prarie, He Man and MOTU, and Champs sportswear.
John Bachman (filling in for Paul Magers) and Diana Pierce bring you all the days headlines from this winter night in 1984. Before it was KARE it was WTCN for thirty years.
