WRGB Commercial Breaks (March 13, 1983)

Taken from a basketball match-up between Oklahoma and MIssouri, and CBS Sports Sunday, both airing on CBS affiliate WRGB (channel 6) in Schenectady, NY. WRGB is CBS' station for the Albany, NY area and the Capital Region, and at the time had only been affiliated with them for 18 months.

I slept on this for a while, but happy first day of March Madness! Tonight some play-in games will happen as part of the "First Four," and this year some of the matches will be played in Albany at the MVP Arena (which didn't exist in 1983). What better way to kick it off than with some commercials that aired on the tube 40 years ago this month!
