Nov 23, 2008 - MSTS1, you rock! This is how I remember FOX25 in it's hey day. [This was around Fall '87 right??]

Nov 23, 2008 - Weaver was also the announcer for the 89-90 syndicated game show, College Mad House.
MSTS1 Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - Hey!Well, It could be from the fall, but has to be after March when they originally signed-on that year...
WhatsAYak Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - He sounded different on CMH, though...almost as if he was trying to channel Don Pardo.
GenerationYM Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - This was when they still called itself "Fox Channel 25" by late 87-88 it went Fox 25.

Nov 23, 2008 - Great find! Always liked the original versions of the look adopted by the stations owned by the net."Superstars" must've been the name for the kids block of programming on the O&Os at the time. I have some old cartoon clips taped from KRIV and they use the same branding/graphics... everything.
GenerationYM Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - I loved the Fox O&O Superstars look. Fuzzymemories had the end with the WFLD logo posted on it. To MSTS:Do you have the one when they had the SuperStars Club from 1990-91?
MSTS1 Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - 90's.. I doubt it, sorry..
NEPatriot Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - I somehow am taken back to my first visit to Boston, 20 years ago.By the way, the announcer is Beau Weaver, who I now hear on CT's WTNH NewsChannel 8 and WCTX-59. And the script took elements of both the WXNE and the Fox TV stations/Metromedia sign-offs/ons.
