Here's a 1986 ad for NewsCenter 5 from WCVB Channel 5 (ABC in Boston, MA). Apparently, they took their NewsCenter 5 newscasts very seriously at that Boston ABC station then, and the ad and jingle seem to bear that out very well.

I realize it's a play on the number 5, but it's not possible to "give" more than 100% effort.

That is true! However, I think that what WCVB was going for is how they went the extra mile to make sure that they got the story right, and also gave it their utmost to make sure they got everything else right.

LOL! That promo would be considered "cheesy" by today's standards. Nowadays everything's Super Serious™!
I'm kinda interested in 1970s and 1980s graphics and promos. Cheesy as they may be they're well orchestrated and upbeat! Must of been one hell of a decade to live in! |

One good thing about TV-you could always turn it off
