Locally Lovable: NYC Indie Stations Of The 1970s and '80s!
from The Outdated Entertainment Hour With Bob Smith · host Bob Smith Podcasts
New York, New York – we won’t go into cliches about it. However, back in the 1970s and ’80s, it was an entirely different scene – especially local TV. Back then, three legendary local independent channels – 5, 9, and 11 – offered original programming including children’s shows, sports, news, political talk, and general entertainment, all of it far different than what those same channels offer today. Even the locally produced ads were memorable! Join our special guest Steve Gennarelli for a still sizzling episode (we just took it off the grill about an hour ago) of The Outdated Entertainment Hour, where we look back at such purely NYC shows as The Magic Garden, Bowling For Dollars, Journey To Adventure, The Soupy Sales Show, Joya’s Fun School, the area newscasts, classics reruns that ran for years, and much more. See how many of these moments you remember in the just-off-the-grill new episode of The Outdated Entertainment Hour, now available at the podcast apps that matter.Write to us at [email protected]!Learn more at outdatedentertainment.buzzsprout.com!
