This July 1990 recording moves through TNT, TBS, and WGN-TV Chicago during the Goodwill Games. There are Seattle Games promos, a 1-900 hotline, Team USA versus Yugoslavia basketball, Turner bumpers, TBS wrestling promos with the Steiners and Jim Cornette, and WGN material including a commuter tip about staying out of Lake Michigan.
The commercials keep changing the channel without changing the decade: Orville Redenbacher’s Mrs. Pennypacker, Miller Lite’s Jamaican bobsled team, a Child World Video Toy Chest spot, a Tommy Lasorda SlimFast ad, and direct-response credit-card pitches.
Some of the national material is available elsewhere. This is the exact Chicago and Turner mix around it, which is why the tape feels like somebody left cable on for a month.
