Remember the days when Radio Stations used to advertise on TV?
Check out this XRT ad that aired on local Chicago TV on Sunday, March 13th 1983. The commercial featured actor/musician Rick Pickren as the WXRT spokesman. It also featured a boom mic.
Seems pretty retro now, don’t you think?
So what do you think? Give our rock a listen!
