This is the earliest known recording to have any of the Eugene Pitt/doo wop station ID's. A friend of mine came into tapes from the beginning of the Splat rebrand (Oct 1984), and we have reason to believe the doo wop bumpers weren't there in the earliest days of the rebrand. This really helps us pinpoint things. Thanks for this discovery.
Ah, the video game crash of 84. Most people weren't even playing Atari at this point. We had pretty much moved on to the micro computers of the time like the C64 and Apple 2. Most of those games sat in discount bins for years. Some were taken back by their distributors and sat in warehouses for decades.

@@Channel37TV anything from Oct 1st, 1984 to Oct 1st, 1985 from Nickelodeon would be helpful, CDCB2 recently posted the commercial break of Nickelodeon from October 2nd, 1984
Wendell Craig was THE voiceover for Nickelodeon in the 80s and 90s. God rest his soul.
I love 80s Nickelodeon. Thank you so much for posting!

"A retail value of $135 for just $19.95"
Honest version:
"It's two years into the video game crash and we're getting desperate"
Yup. The NES was still a few months from being announced, and over a year from wide release.
"does anybody want these? cause if not we're just gonna chuck em in a landfill"

Danger Mouse was the best!!! It still makes me laugh.
another Great Rare Find!!!! Channel 37 let us know if you have anymore Nickelodeon commercials from 80s

The orange years
"Splendid, delicious fun"
Actually Channel 37 the Nickelodeon Silver Ball era ran from 1981 to 1985.
Nickelodeon switched to the orange splat logo on October 1, 1984.
