You'll find thirteen more ads today, all from August 1992, plus six more Random Pages gallery additions from the pages of The Blade, starting with two Peach Section columns by Alan Abrams, a Friday, 8/14/92 "Blade Runner" item, "Like We Told You Doubters" and a Saturday, 8/15/92 Hot Radio column with the headline, "Mason & Scribner May be Back." Next, in two parts, is a Sunday, 8/6/92 story by Willa J. Conrad, "WGTE's Radio Crew Works More for Love than Money," part one, here and part two, here. The other two are also from the Peach Section, a Monday 8/17/92 story by Tom Ensign, "Olympics an Expensive Success," and a Friday, 8/21/92 Blade Runner column with the headline, "Push Came to Shove." There's one addition to the News/Special Reports Ads gallery, a Monday, 8/17/92 ad for coverage of the 1992 Republican Convention on PBS (Channel 30) and NBC (Channel 13), with Robert MacNeil, Jim Lehrer and Tom Brokaw. There's also one addition to the PBS gallery, a Sunday, 8/2/92 ad for TV30 shows, Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, Where in the World is Carmen Santiago?, Nova, and American Experience, and WGTE-FM radio programs, Morning Edition and All Things Considered (WGTE, "Your station for lifelong learning"). There are eight additions to the Buckeye CableSystem gallery, starting with a Saturday, 8/1/92 ad for Olympics Triplecast coverage. Next is another 8/1/92 ad, for an NFL exhibition game in Japan (Cowboys vs. Oilers), on ESPN, and there's a Sunday, 8/2/92 ad for coverage of the Space Shuttle Atlantis mission on the NASA channel. There are three ads for "Channel of the week," TNN, a Saturday, 8/1/92 ad for The Texas Connection with Jimmy Buffett, a Sunday, 8/2/92 ad for Players Limited 300 Racing, and a Friday, 8/7/92 ad for Laff TV.

There are two additions to the ToledoVision 5 gallery, a Friday, 8/7/92 ad ("Happy 3rd Anniversary TV5") and a Thursday, 8/20/92 ad, for a Toledo Mudhens - Detroit Tigers exhibition game. Today's last ad is an addition to the Other Vintage ads gallery, a Sunday, 8/23/92 full-page ad for The Blade, which will soon become a morning paper. It's hard to beleive that it's been over 21 years since that happened. More August 1992 ads, from the online archives of The Toledo Blade are on the way...
