Razorback Basketball on Fox 46

Added to TV Promos, KPBI Fox 46 by Earl Tuesday April 22, 1997

The Hogs and the FoxDuring the spring of 1997, Fox 46 also struck a deal to carry University of Arkansas men’s basketball games - as opposed to KFDF’s earlier package of women’s games. The image campaign announcing this acquisition was very flashy, filled with rapid-fire edits that occasionally got down to only two frames per clip. Not a bad trick when you’re editing on 3/4″ tape without any non-linear equipment.

Star Trek Voyager 1997 Campaign

Added to TV Promos, KFDF UPN 32 by Earl Saturday April 19, 1997

Star Trek VoyagerFor spring 1997, another new Star Trek: Voyager image campaign was launched, this time consisting of a single, 30-second long Lightwave animation which followed a Starfleet ship past a galaxy, a planet, a sun, and into a densely-packed asteroid field, accompanied by the Voyager theme music and text telling viewers that “If you thought you couldn’t find Voyager, maybe you need to look in the right place” (that place, naturally, being UPN 32 roundabout Wednesday night). This was my final Star Trek campaign for KFDF, and my last major campaign for the station as well.
