- Network promo produced during the height of the 1970s I Love NY campaign circa 1973, broadcast on CBS channel 2 New York during late nights/early morning hours for nearly a decade.
The music is a library track entitled "Pop Package", written by Keith Mansfield for the Carnaby Street Pop Orchestra LP "The London Theme" in 1969.
My father, Fred Gutman, shot these promos. He was a cameraman (that's what they were called in the late 60s/early 70s) at WCBS (and later NBC). He passed a couple of years ago but it's wonderful that these livfe on.
Too cool and I'm sorry about your Dad passing away my Dad too passed away a few years ago myself beautiful memories
This was when CBS was a good station! I miss the old WCBS.
Damn....The Memories.....Gotta love 1970's New York!
That's when it was REAL, Today FAKE!!!
Terrence Fletcher Living in New Jersey in the 70s and 80s, I so remember this one!
I grew up in Queens in the early to mid 70s and this WCBS celebrates promo is something I definitely remember.
A million thank yous for posting this. This piece of music has been stuck in my head for almost 50 years. I remember this exact commercial and montage. So great to see it again.
Definetly remember this ad...as a kid in.1970s
I remember this! Brings back fond memories as I was in NY back then. Even with the rough economy it was still a good time to be a kid then (as long as you stayed out of trouble).
For the out-of-towners, here's what you're viewing:
1. Brooklyn Bridge 2. South Street Seaport 3. Staten Island Ferry 4. Wall Street/ NY Stock Exchange 5. Various skyscrapers 6. Carriage horse, corner of 5th Avenue and Central Park South, across the street is the Plaza Hotel 7. Times Square 8. Mott Street, Chinatown 9. U.N. Building 10. Apollo Theatre, Harlem 11. Times Square 12 possibly Riverside Drive 13. George Washington Bridge, Fort Washington Park
How's that?
Awesome

Dude... This jingle still regurgitates. Love it!
It sounds like it would make a great game show theme!
I've also heard it used on NFL Films highlights-specifically the 1970 Dolphins.
I recommend the KPM 1000 series where many of the artists who created the music, are featured.. Scott, Mansfield, Hawkshaw, etc… what an absolute blast to know where this music lives
The piece of music sounds like it would make a great game show theme!!
A wonderful more innocent time! Wow great memories👍👍
I remember this , always liked this promo!
When I lived in wonderful, beloved Levittown, Long Island from January 3, 1974 thru July 3, 1984, I remember this very well, this made me feel proudest than proud, those were the days living in Levittown, Long Island when I was a young boy, excellent 1970's promo, love the 1970's and 1980's♥♥!!!
I'm not a big fan of technology and having all this information so readily available it sometimes gets scary but I've been looking for these promos forever and I am grateful to the internet and CZcams for helping me find these great memories. CBS had the best lineup back then Mash The Waltons It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown The Bob Newhart Show
Rhoda, Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Jeffersons, Maude, Good Times, All in the Family...
wow, I remember this like it was yesterday
Yeah these CBS demos started around late 75 around Christmas time I remember being eight years old and seeing these great memories 😊😊😊😊
Hello! Question, Does anyone remember back in the early 70's channel 2 did a station identification spot with a little boy, and girl running through Central Park in the late fall. I want to say over one of the foot arches. It had a nice little jazz piece playing in the background. The key instrument was a flute. I'm 48 yrs old, and I remember it as if it were yesterday. Please help is you can. As you can guess, I'm a very nostalgic woman...Lol!!!
It was actually footage of the cloisters garden and museum in Manhattan. that track is done by Mr. Johnny Scott,the tune is called Roses Today. It is on a compilation called music for tv dinners.
I'm not sure if you found it yet, but that channel 2 NY spot you were looking for can be found in this compilation:

I remember the cloisters video too and always loved the music and finally saw it posted here on youtube. Here is the link!

You're probably remembering a spot that showed the Cloisters (not Central Park) in the spring (not the fall), with a man and woman (not a boy and girl).
One of the biggest ironies that the most vivid promos glorifying early 1970's New York had as their background music, stock music from England.
Absolutely perfect
I vaguely remember this. (Remember the Cloisters promo more vividly though). Oddly enough, this was often followed by a commercial for some store that sold used mink coats. Can't remember the name of the store but recall some woman leaving with a coat on and the narrator saying "you look like a million bucks" to which she replies, "why, thank you". Lol. The things that stick in one's mind. I must've been only 3 or 4 years old or so...
yes, that was the commercial for the Ritz Thrift Shop, another staple of late night television!
...and here it is!

That's it! Ritz Thrift Shop!!
My dad, Fred Gutman, shot these promos, including the one at the Cloisters.. He used to remark how it was part luck that he got the gates coming down for that money shot just in time.
@@wehoscott - Didn't he also film a "WCBS-TV Celebrates New York" spot in and around an outdoor basketball court as teens were playing, which had a 7/4 time library music piece (which ended with a Hammond B3 organ, and was also used in a commercial promoting tourism to Miami Beach - czcams.com/video/O7qFzjEvYXQ/video.htmlm35s )? I've noticed in all those years that's never turned up anywhere.
thank you very much!
Great Theme
I’m loving this
Tommy!!! Where are you?!!!??? We need more retro stuff!!!!!

When did WCBS stop airing this?
decades ago, during of the early-to-mid 1980s.
do you remember the JAZZ musicans walking out of byrdland some guy carrying a bass fidel?
this was from '72 huh???????????!!!!!!!.....no wonder I didn't see the towers
Why would you say that? The frames of both towers were erected and visible as early as the summer of 1971...I know because I was a construction worker there.
@@fscap811 - Probably filmed in 1970, if the towers were beginning to be visible by '71 . . . I seem to remember these debuted around 1971-72.
I used to love watching these networks back then, not so political as they are now.
