Gannet had bought the station in 1983 and was starting the process of rebuilding the station.paulsonj72https://www.blogger.com/profile/18118231322032199900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-3918826246373747952017-02-05T23:44:33.693-05:002017-02-05T23:44:33.693-05:00There was original programming on HBO, it was show...There was original programming on HBO, it was shows like "Not Necessarily The News". The football sitcom "1st and Ten" would be about a year off. On ESPN the only pro football that was shown in 1984 were NFL Films shows, the USFL, and the CFL.timdub70https://www.blogger.com/profile/09891461198896930029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-27020279670462024392017-02-03T12:34:28.705-05:002017-02-03T12:34:28.705-05:00Regarding HBO original programming - "The Ter...Regarding HBO original programming - "The Terry Fox Story" should get partial credit. I remember this being a big deal when it was on, as it was the first television film ever made for a cable network. It wasn't produced by HBO, but it was specifically made for them. :)<br /><br />I had WGN where we lived in 1984, and I remember watching it quite a bit. Thanks for this lineup! <br />Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14792179042272710027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-69437099055515916912017-02-01T11:57:02.337-05:002017-02-01T11:57:02.337-05:00Loved listening to Dan Kelly on the Game of the We...Loved listening to Dan Kelly on the Game of the Week! Sometimes if it was very clear out, we'd be able to pull in KMOX and listen to him call the Blues. They don't come like that anymore.Mitchell Hadleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285825363335947857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-22099441018764507542017-01-31T15:20:33.473-05:002017-01-31T15:20:33.473-05:00During the mid 1980's, play-by-play for USA...During the mid 1980's, play-by-play for USA's coverage of the National Hockey league was handled by Dan Kelly, who for years was the "voice" of the NHL in the United States.<br /><br />Kelly also spent many years doing games of the St. Louis Blues for powerful KMOX radio there. <br /><br />I think Dan Kelly also did a handful of regional NFL games for CBS in the 1970's and might even have briefly worked St. Louis Cardinals baseball with Jack Buck and Mike Shannon for KMOX radio (maybe doing radio while Buck or Shannon were calling the rare in that era televised Cards' games?).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
