Views: 3771

Here is Part 2 - the final part, of a WFLD promotional film for (I assume) the sales department, meant to be shown to prospective advertisers on why WFLD was such a kick-arse station to buy time on.

The second part features company man Bill Jackson eliciting the help of his Cartoon Town denizens (such as Dirty Dragon and Weird) to explain the finer points of share, cumes, ratings, coverage, UHF penetration, and other reasons why you should advertise on "WFLD TV 32".

Here, we see Woody Woodpecker, Fred Flintstone (of The Flintstones), Magilla Gorilla, Popeye, and Tom & Jerry all appearing as they regularly are, and d...
