I...Thank you for the write up, it looks excellent. I have added more information about some of the places I was unsure about (ie. Del Lago and McLeod's). As for the other information, the tape, alas, did not have any news promos or news broadcasts or local material, save two promos for WBRZ and WRBT (WVLA) from 1986. Obviously, if I ever run across news promos or newscasts, I will upload them--I have uploaded a few found on tapes.<br /><br />When WBRZ celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2005, they ran a few old promos, mostly from the 1980s. I did capture many of them and have uploaded them.<br /><br />The tape containing most of the ads you described was put out by the Greater Baton Rouge Ad Council or Ad Federation. I am not sure when this occurred--probably late 1990s, but not certain. I am not sure if this is an easily accessible tape, but I found a copy at the Here Today, Gone Tomorrow Thrift Store on Burbank Drive in Baton Rouge. Relatively few thrift stores in town put out "homemade" VHS/Beta tapes for sale.<br /><br />There was at least one ad from the tape I did not put up because it is already on YouTube--one for Tic Toc Shoes from 1978 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgp75KGbeAY). I almost reloaded it myself to do away with some of the extra stuff seen on that video. That profile also has a news intro for WRBT from 1983 and a handful of other Baton Rouge goodies.<br /><br />Thanks for your support and interest!Jackx2noreply@blogger.com
