# WNYT Commercial Breaks (August 24, 1987)

Taken from a repeat airing of the NBC mini-series "A Year in the Life" off of WNYT (channel 13) in Albany, NY. The mini-series originally aired in December 1986, but NBC repeated the airing ahead of the fall season to promote a weekly primetime show under the same name. The next two episodes respectively aired on August 31 and Sept. 7, and I plan on uploading the commercials from those as well soon. This is my second-oldest upload, taking a look at 80s TV in the 518. NBC was the top-rated network thanks to hits like The Cosby Show, Cheers, Family Ties, Miami Vice and Matlock, and WNYT was getting a boost from that surge. They hadn't hit first place yet (WRGB still nosing ahead), but they were pretty close.
