Hello Cleveland
NewsChannel 5 Loves You!

Wow... finally a TV station that remembers not every person in their audience is "lily white."   ;)

Hello Milwaukee
Channel 12 Loves You!

One of the first stations to run the Hello campaign was WISN-Milwaukee, which had a variety of versions, including one for Christmas.

Boy I sure DO remember it Phillip!!  :D

Has it really been 27 years since I've seen it?? It doesn't seem like it's been that long. Those hairstyles have to go, don't they!  :laugh:

That really brought back a lot of memories. I remember Channel 13 playing it all the time. Thanks so much for posting these Phillip! They are wonderful! I'm really enjoying them; even on dial-up! They are worth the time it takes to load.  :D

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

Hello Adelaide
Channel Seven Says Hello!

Here's proof of just how similar American and Australian television really is.  The Seven Network had the Hello campaign running in several areas, including Adelaide.

HELLO EVERYWHERE ELSE!
The Hello Campaigns Without Video

Some two dozen cities/markets used the Hello image campaign.  Unfortunately, video of all them isn't available at this point, so here are the other station songs for the places we didn't have video.

Some Cities Included:

Albany, NY
Baltimore, MD (Check out this VERY uplifting version combined with the CBS "Reach for the Stars" image campaign)
Charleston, SC
Colorado Springs, CO
Dayton, OH
Myrtle Beach, SC (The "Grandstrand")
Kansas City, MO
Knoxville, TN
Louisville, KY
Phoenix, AZ
Providence, RI
Quad Cities, IO
Rochester, NY
San Diego, CA
Sioux City, IO
Southeast Texas
Tulsa, OK
Minneapolis-St.Paul, MN
West Palm Beach, FL
Wichita, KS

The audio player for this activates when you press the small play button in the upper left.





And finally, here are very high quality audio versions of the Hello campaign, past and present.  The "Contemporary Duet" for WXIA-Atlanta is the hands-down standout.  Very moving....

Re: Wide Wonderful World of Media - WOR-TV New York

By now, I think we've beaten the Hello image campaign to death.  If you missed the Osmond's, scroll back to the Hello Utah thread for an additional clip.

Here is where we're heading next.  The story of WOR-TV New York, and just who the heck is Joe Franklin....  Here is a taste.

This clip was recorded on black and white reel-to-reel videotape from the 1970s.  It's a bit beat up.
