7 PM Classified Ads


Any idea what this was? Character generated ads for a hour? A call-in like swap shop on radio?
 
Again, I never saw the program but it sounds like it might have
been a swap shop (that sounds like something Ch. 61 would have
done in those days, as they had a show sometime in the '70s called
"Tell It And Sell It").

I do recall being in Athens one Saturday morning in the late '80s
or early '90s and seeing a program of real-estate classifieds on
Ch. 5; on that one, they showed homes while a voice-over described
each and who the realtor was.
