There's one addition to the Channel 13 News gallery, a Thursday, 10/31/85 ad for 13 News (Jeannine Lauber, Jerry Anderson) and NBC Nightly News (Tom Brokaw, John Chancellor).

There are eight additions to the Buckeye CableSystem gallery including a Saturday, 10/19/85 ad (Rocket Football!) for a Toledo vs. Northern Illinois football game on channel 10B. “Northern” was misspelled as “Nothern” in the ad.
