WFSB Commercial Breaks (April 22, 1984)

Taken from the Pope John Paul II movie, airing on CBS affiliate WFSB (channel 3) in Hartford, CT. The movie aired appropriately on Easter Sunday 1984, always glad to find early 80s stuff.

Speaking of CBS, Gayle King appears in the news briefs. King would hold many positions at WFSB over the years, and was their first 5.30 news anchor. Her weekend co-anchor was Gerry Brooks, who also was a DMA staple; he later worked at NBC O&O WVIT until his retirement.
