Dance Party - WFMY 1960

How many of you remember Dance Party on channel 2 each Thursday afternoon? It was sponsored by Royal Crown Cola or as most people called it " RC ". WFMY at that time was broadcasting between 3 and 4 hours of live programming each day not counting the news broadcasts. Those were the days for local television.

Wonder Woman - WFMY 1977

Lawman - WSJS

This ad is from 1962. This series ran on the ABC network from 1958-1962.Since we only had WFMY and WSJS in the Triad at the time,channel 12 and channel 2 included some of the ABC shows on their schedules wherever they could.I am glad they did. That is John Russell in the ad as Marshal Dan Troop. This show has been airing on the Encore Westerns Channel each weekday morning at 9:00 A.M.
