Soupy Sales Fills In on 600 WICC Bridgeport | July 20, 1989

Soupy’s fans of a certain age will probably remember him from television. Wikipedia describes the peak of his television career this way: Sales is best known for his daily children’s television show, Lunch with Soupy Sales. It was originally called 12 O’Clock Comics, and later known as The Soupy Sales Show.[5] Improvised and slapstick in nature, it was a rapid-fire stream of comedy sketches, gags…

It was New Year’s Eve and this is the WBLQ “Time Machine”, a customized version of the original Time Machine that aired on the old 66 WNBC New York. First, a little background on how this show came about. WBLQ owner Chris DiPaola caught wind of my internet station’s intention to do a second re-creation of the WNBC Time Machine over Labor Day Weekend, Sept. 2021. He asked me specifically if I…
