Your Local Zoo or Aquarium - "It's Wild" (1984?)
Views: 583
Here's a couple spots that one of our contributors, Matthew Graczyk found on Quad 2" videotape for "Your local Zoo or Aquarium". He believes these were used for the local Peoria area, although they do not specify and are generic enough to be used all over.
There's a 10 second spot followed by a longer 30 second spot.
"Uncouth."
Not sure when these would have aired but I'm going to guess 1984.

Here's a bumper promo for Tic Tac Dough on WFLD Channel 32. The Jim Barton voiceover started late and so we get to hear more of the background Field Communications music than usual.
