Is that Tommy Barnard doing the voice overs?

Scary part is seeing Cyndy Brucato on that commercial and she's still at 5

32 channels of free and subscription channels direct via satellite! Wow. Who would need so many channels!?

Ypu that was Tom Barnard. He did all the voice overs for Hubbard in the 80's.

 

[Mr Tony]

Thats what I figured that it was Tommy B
edit: I guess if I clicked on the youtube to open a new screen the description says "Also listen for the KSTP announcer, you might hear him on KQRS."

for 1986 that would be a lot

 

[Tron]

Well, those 32 channels in 1986 would actually have plenty worth watching, unlike the 500+ channels bragged about by the pizza dish companies today ...

 

[Mr Tony]

exactly...in 86 there was lets see...the Big 4 would have been
ESPN
TBS
WGN
CNN

Think about that....25 years ago there was one sports station and one all news station...DAMN!

Let me add they did it well. Not the garbage we see now.

 

[Stargazer]

Better quality content = fewer channels needed for good value entertainment.

I agree how many different Channels do we need showing NCIS reruns?
