Several commercials in this post including a Twin Cities Live commercial with former Sports broadcaster Bob Bruce. http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstp-eyewitness-news-may-1990-last-few-minutes-with-stan-turner-kirstin-lindquist-and-joe-schmidt/ http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstp-eyewitness-news-may-1990-last-few-minutes-with-stan-turner-kirstin-lindquist-and-joe-schmidt/ Fri, 17 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0400 Good Company does a behind the scenes look at KSTP's Weather Services with Dennis Feltgen and Dave Dahl. http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstps-good-company-behind-the-scenes-at-kstp-weather-september-9-1983/ http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstps-good-company-behind-the-scenes-at-kstp-weather-september-9-1983/ Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0400 Found and restored for generations to come. A 1977 episode of Bowling for Dollars. Bowling for Dollars was a game show produced and aired locally on KSTP-TV in the 1970s. The premise was simple enough, contestants bowl for a jackpot and prizes. I understand from individuals that worked on the show, it was taped on Sunday morning about 6am and then aired on Thursday and Friday nights. Bowling for Dollars like Bozo was a regional "franchise" program, every market had their own version with a general format. http://tcmedianow.com/video/bowling-for-dollars-with-tom-ryther-taped-in-november-1977-full-broadcast/ http://tcmedianow.com/video/bowling-for-dollars-with-tom-ryther-taped-in-november-1977-full-broadcast/ Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0400 October 25, 1987: The Minnesota Twins moments ago had won game 7 of the World Series.

Jesse is not one to give up grudges or blame easily. This hour long news piece nicely done by KSTP-TV and Tom Hauser for "At Issue" aired shortly before Jesse Ventura left office. If anyone longs for the days of a Governor Ventura, watching this may remind you what it was actually like. http://tcmedianow.com/video/at-issue-with-tom-hauser-the-jesse-ventura-years-originally-aired-january-2003/ http://tcmedianow.com/video/at-issue-with-tom-hauser-the-jesse-ventura-years-originally-aired-january-2003/ Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0500 KSTP promoted their latest gadget throughout 1984 - a truck called "Newstar 5". According to the promotion the "Twin Cities first mobile satellite news gathering service". KQRS' Tom Barnard narrates the information benefits the metro will have thanks to "Newstar 5". If you want to see this actual truck, it is exhibited in the Newseum in Washington DC as a donation from Hubbard Broadcasting. Also in this clip is a news update from who I believe to be Karen Carnes, and a commercial for NEW "liquid" Tide. Recorded in December 1984 from my personal collection. http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstps-newstar-5-the-twin-cities-first-satellite-news-gathering-truck-and-a-news-update/ http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstps-newstar-5-the-twin-cities-first-satellite-news-gathering-truck-and-a-news-update/ Thu, 24 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0500 KSTP-TV's Eyewitness News from March 1977 with Stan Turner (for Ron Magers), Tom Ryther, and Dr. Walt Lyons. http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstp-eyewitness-news-at-6pm-with-stan-turner-from-march-1977/ http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstp-eyewitness-news-at-6pm-with-stan-turner-from-march-1977/ Sun, 10 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0500 KSTP-TV's Eyewitness News from August 5, 1982 with Cyndy Brucato and Dennis Feltgen.

The program was hosted by Steve Sanger and featured such bits as this piece on rock musicians who wrote songs on then WCCO anchor Pat Miles and KSTP anchor Cyndy Brucato. http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstps-sunday-extra-with-steve-sanger-rock-songs-about-pat-miles-and-cyndy-brucato-1981/ http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstps-sunday-extra-with-steve-sanger-rock-songs-about-pat-miles-and-cyndy-brucato-1981/ Tue, 08 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0500 John Hines and June Lindsay host KSTP's daytime talk show "Twin Cities Today". Longtime Twin Cities radio personality John Hines took a break from radio in the early 1980s after Steve and Sharon (later of Good Company fame) left the Channel 5 talk show for national ambitions in California. Like Good Company, TCT featured guests, fashion tips, cooking, and bargains. In this hour we have make overs, medical analysis, and information on ski-a-thon 1981. All original commercials are intact featuring the Eyewitness News Team, Happy Days, Dance Fever (with Mary Crosby) and The Don Lane Show. http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstps-twin-cities-today-with-john-hines-from-february-10-1981/ http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstps-twin-cities-today-with-john-hines-from-february-10-1981/ Mon, 21 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0400 KSTP-TV's Eyewitness News at 5 from March 18, 1982. 5pm newscasts were a relatively modern installment in the Twin Cities in the early 1980s. WCCO and KSTP positioned their 5pm broadcasts to be lighter and provide greater depth to human interest stories. This installment focuses on the snowfall of 1982 that was continuing into late March. The Eyewitness News team searches out how people cope with the snow (including Dave Dahl's tip of smiling when providing a less than ideal forecast). Dr. Michael Breen discuses the psychological effects of cold and snow, and Arthur Ballet gives a very lengthy and theatrical review of the movie "The Amateur". Stan Turner anchors and Dennis Feltgen provides a forecast in this full report from March 18, 1982 with the original commercials. From Dennis Feltgen: The great winter of '82 kept on keeping on. The computer graphics were done on a Kavouras g-dos system...we called it "the mapper". The satellite loop came with a graphics tablet, which was new to TV at the time. BTW, in the background of the war room shot is Ron Trenda and John Dooley. http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstp-eyewitness-news-at-5-with-stan-turner-and-dennis-feltgen-march-18-1982-full-report-with-commercials/ http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstp-eyewitness-news-at-5-with-stan-turner-and-dennis-feltgen-march-18-1982-full-report-with-commercials/ Sat, 26 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0400 An early morning (or late at night) news update from KSTP-TV Eyewitness News. Tom Green (the anchor not the comedian) provides a brief update on snow emergencies, cold weather, and what to expect from Ronald Reagan's first State of the Union address that night. A very empty newsroom is the backdrop... Tom Green also anchored the morning news, most of my memory of him is without the moustache. Anyone know what happened to him? http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstp-tvs-late-night-news-february-18-1981/ http://tcmedianow.com/video/kstp-tvs-late-night-news-february-18-1981/ Sun, 03 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0400 Robb Leer reports live on KSTP's Action Cam from Met Stadium as the Twins take on the Oakland A's in the summer of 1979 http://tcmedianow.com/video/robb-leer-live-from-met-stadiumtwins-vs-oakland-1979/ http://tcmedianow.com/video/robb-leer-live-from-met-stadiumtwins-vs-oakland-1979/ Sun, 10 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0400 Thanksgiving Day 1982, 5pm The remains of the downtown Minneapolis Donaldson's store glowed in a blaze of fire in what has been one of Minneapolis' largest and most destructive fires in the cities history. The fire, which was started by arson started in the remains of Donaldson's former downtown store eventually catching Northwestern Bank's Headquarters (later Norwest, now Wells Fargo) destroying the building and damaging the iconic "Weather Ball", ultimately leaving a block of downtown Minneapolis in ashes for what should have been the biggest shopping day of the year.
