God Bless Tom Jolls for all his voice contributions in the past at Channel 7 and for doing the weather on 7 and most of all, for being Commander Tom! Great job and he will be a legend forever! Thank you Tom Jolls! May God be with you!
I remember watching WKBW-TV on a visit to Niagara Falls around this time (I was maybe six or seven). First of all I found it neat that Buffalo had a channel 2, 4 and 7 just like Detroit, and that Buffalo's 7 was also an ABC affiliate and had a slightly different version of the Circle 7 logo from Detroit's WXYZ. Now that I've cut the cord and have the Set TV streaming app on my TV, I get to watch WKBW once again and see CKLW "20/20 News" legend Keith Radford in the anchor chair. :)
sad how the country has changed so much since then did you hear the bishop telling immigrants there was no fear of deportation that is not true today!!
A great tribute to both Canada and the USA!

Always loved that USAF national anthem sign-off clip.

Rather impressive that WKBW kept using the NAB TV code slide even _after_ CapCities sold them off and Tom Jolls had to re-record the VO
Ah...Back when TV stations told the TRUTH. Who MISSES the good old days like ME?
Canada has one of the best national anthems.
Rest in Peace Tom Jolls August 16,1933-June 7,2023
Hey, Drake was born that year! And yes, he’s Canadian 😉

Yeah with "Commander" Tom Jolls too. :)
That is 7 ABC in Buffalo, New York from 1986. Here's O Canada and the Star-Spangled Banner before they say good night.
WKBW Sign Off Christmas 2011
Did they ever use a test pattern before?
Around 1980.
I can't talk that fast!
