Throwback Thursday: Christmas in New York, 1985
Video via TapThat2012 on YouTube
We'll be dedicating Throwback Thursday to old-school holidays in the city for the rest of the month. First up, we offer you a glimpse of Channel 5 in 1985, during its last Christmas as "WNEW-TV," before it was purchased by Rupert Murdoch and his fledgling Fox Network, and the station's "Foxification" began.
This clips contains a great collection of vintage NYC staples. They include ads for 1010 WINS, New York Telephone (a Nynex Company), Lafayette Circuit City, and a movie ad for "Silk Stockings" voiced by longtime Channel 5 announcer Ed Ladd.
