AND FINALLY I'M DONE TYPING ALL OF THIS
"Makes no difference where I go, it's the same song that I know! Hello Your Town, Hello Your Town... Channel x loves you!"
Yes, KWQC brought it back as their ramp up to their 75th anniversary next October...and from all accounts, it's permanent. The QC is very happy to have it back!!!
It was so successful that Wendy's locations in the QCA themed cups to the song
Calgary wasn't the only Canadian market that used the campaign- ASN on the East Coast also used it, but the "Hello (region)" tagline at the end was replaced with what the first two letters of ASN stood for (Atlantic Satellite (Network)). A number of Australian stations also used the Hello campaign...DDQ/SDQ in SW Queensland used Hello News for its intended purpose, with Tasmania's TasTV and the large-market Seven O&Os using it solely for imaging.
One of my favorite campaigns in the 80's, I just love it because it's all about living in the city, with a lot of pride that they want.
I could listen to Florence Warner voice all day😁
And if my memory is correct, the male vocalist is Frank Gari himself?
if you could, you should do local versions of the Peters productions alive promos. I heard somewhere aside from New York, there were others. I found one, KENS in San Antonio TX. also, you can feel it from the mid to late 80’s or 90’s. IDK the company, or don’t stay home without us.
Oh, so that's why so many stations do a "6 Alive!" or "39 Alive!" or "21 Alive!"
Im from the quad cities and the hello campaign was here for almost 20 years I'm glad they brought it back I've been a quad city resident for 40 years and even though it went off the tv it never left the quad cities
It's strange that NONE of the many stations out here in the Pacific Northwest -- Oregon and Washington -- used this campaign. Seems like at least one in Seattle, Portland, Spokane, Eugene, or even smaller markets (Yakima, Tri-Cities, Bellingham, Medford, Klamath Falls) would have done so.
Except for San Diego and Santa Barbara, it wasn't used in California either.
I could see it playing well in Spokane or Sacramento but it doesn't have the right sound for the largest West Coast markets.
Too "traditional" or even corny for "sophisticated" LA, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle? Is that what you suggest?
Originally from Milwaukee, now pretty much universal. Thanks a lot, Cleveland Channel 5 WEWS-TV...
"Makes no difference where I go, you're the best darn place I know, Hello ____*, Hello **______***, Channel __** loves you!"
*insert real or fictional location here
**insert number here
For example:
Hot Wheels City and Channel 4 (WHWC-TV)
Bikini Bottom and Channel 8 (KBBT-TV)
Adventure Bay and Channel 50 (KPUP-TV)
Storybook Village and Channel 49 (WHY-TV)
Congratulations if you got all 4 references. References 1 and 2 were easy, 3's a little trickier, and 4 is for fanatics of my least favorite kid's TV program (There's a hint for reference number 4, right there.)
For WTAE-TV Pittsburgh's 40th Anniversary, WTAE produced an updated 60 second version and a 30 second version of "Hello Pittsburgh."
WAPT had one as well but its no footage. Source is News Music Search Archive
There is some footage online.
You Forgot WEAU, It used the Hello Campaign in 2003.

I lived in San Diego mostly in the 90s. I remember the KFMB channel 8 one from 1993.
Missing campaigns like WVTM-TV Channel 13 in Birmingham, Alabama the NBC Affiliate.
WYFF (may have been WFBC at the time) in Greenville S.C used this too.
Is it bad that i perfer the WMBB "Say hello" over the original? It's sad more affiliates didn't use that variation
At 54:15...had the right station and city, however it's actual state is Missouri, but it did cover the northern part of KY and the southern part of IL as well as SE MO...and the only reason I can recall this is I used to live in the Cape Girardeau area for years, although my real home in in the SW part of MO...which by the way you got spot on with KOLR 10
...but they couldn't convince their station manager to that the campaign was designed with three syllables for the place name, inserting "In" or "the" or stretching for two-syllable names.
"America's Heartland" is five freakin' syllables; that and the out-of-tune amateur vocalists may make it the most painful incarnation. I love to imagine Florence Warner just refusing that tongue twister, the local choirs and musical theater students doing the same, leaving the worst amateurs in to the slot. "The Heartland" would have fit just right.
I grew up with WXII, which officially designated with the 9-syllable "Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point" but was commonly referred to as the five-syllable "the Piedmont Triad" on area stations. But for the Hello Campaign, they compromised to fit the song cleanly with the three-syllable "the Piedmont".
Also, how about a compilation of all localized "Turn To..." Station IDs and promos?
Done that already
@@DMA180Guy Oh wait, I didn't even see it!
