When local news promos were best enjoyed under the influence
By adamg on Fri, 12/08/2006 - 10:36pm
Maybe you remember the Monolith-sized 5 that would show up at random New England spots (like on the back of a lobster boat). Or WBZ anchor Sharon King bicycling to work. But perhaps the most wacked-out local promo ever is this Jackson 5/Poltergeist promo for Channel 5 (thanks to Spatch for showing me all the fun stuff you can find by searching YouTube on terms such as WBZ, WCVB and WHDH - the world is truly a richer place for being able to watch Dawn Hayes read the daily numbers in 1996):

Speaking of...
... Channel 5 and Poltergeist...
Is Chronicle the only local show left?
On commercial TV, that is?
channel 7 still has "Urban Update"
but that's only once a week, on Sundays. The other stations may also have some local Sunday morning shows.
