This was right after WHBQ 13's Big Switch to FOX from ABC. Fox had been operating the station since the summer, but the affiliation with ABC didn't expire until the first week of December 1995.
I miss K&B Drugs. They had awesome ice cream. Rite Aid axed it when they took over, unlike Thrifty out in California. But we're the South, so no one cares about us unlike Cali-freakin-'fornia.
Thanks for the WHBQ-TV news and commercials from 1995. 👍
Fox 13's first intro was one of the best-ever in the Memphis market.
WPTY(now WATN) would switch with WHBQ which would become FOX and WPTY would become ABC 24
Blessed content‼️Them good old days😢
11:23, 11:46 - Tim Hogan's Dalton Georgia Carpet Outlet ("Tim Hogan's the way to buy carpet!") I love this commercial.

That is correct. WPTY at that time (now WATN) channel 24 switch to ABC and vice versa WHBQ switch from ABC now FOX.
Thanks for this uploading. Have a merry christmas.
