WFTY (now WDCW) (then-Ind. - Washington D.C.) Ad Breaks (Mon. 5/1/1989)

From the same tape as the other WFTY/Columbo posting. Call it a hunch, but I think this was someone's way of getting their Columbo fix in the years between their original airings and their arrival on home video. After the Memorial Day recording (see elsewhere on this channel), we get a few quick, garbled moments of other episodes before settling into about 10 minutes of an earlier recording right at the end of the tape. Of course, these are the surviving ads.

This aired over then-independent WFTY (now WDCW) on Monday, May 1, 1989.

1:32 “Comes with relaxing OPTIONAL built-in heat and massage”
Well now that’s some pretty sneaky salesmanship.
