I grew up south of Raleigh and received both WECT and WPTF (later WRDC) as my NBC affiliates. However, WECT often was the NBC affiliate that my family and I had watched since WECT provided a much stronger signal than WPTF.
@@dereklangley8582 WITN has been a full-time NBC affiliate since 1963. I remember the reception of WPTF was so bad in the Raleigh area that Channel Master made a "Channel 7 antenna" that made it possible for people living in the Raleigh area to receive WITN for their NBC programming. WITN was on cable practically everywhere throughout Eastern NC (including Raleigh, Fayetteville, Lumberton, Whiteville, and Wilmington) at one time.

The blonde girl in the thumbnail, who is also @12:43, ....would that happen to be Julie Ann Haddock??? - who was in the first season of "Facts of Life". Does anybody have any idea? : )
i miss this classic 80's commercials they are treasure from the good old days for us 80's kids
Absolutely, such a better outlook back then
I grew up watching all the great game shows on daytime on WPTF.
It's funny how the A-1 and Capri Sun commercials sound so similar. They also run back to back in this video @12:27.
I miss those days
Me too Kristy

We didn’t pick up WECT or WITN when I was growing up in Durham, but we could get a couple of Triad stations, including WGHP (High Point).

This is so cool. I grew up in Raleigh-Durham area and remember well the weaker reception of UHF dial TV28
Even on cable?
@@jamesmcclelland1414 I am sure the reception was excellent with cable but my family did not have cable until 2003.
