    The old Name that Tune is infinitely better than the Name that Tune that’s on now (April 19, 2022). People could name tunes with ONE NOTE back then! Sorry Jim Lange passed away. He was such a great host.
    We used to watch this show as a family and we’d all try to guess. It was fun to be with mom and dad and playing along. That’s when people did things together.

    I wouldn't be able to name any of these tunes of course it's only the 1st 3 minutes in the video ill keep trying 😅 hey i got my 1st tune When you wish upon a star. 😊 and now i can tell the difference between the new name that tune was playing more of the songs than this version were they don't play the whole tunes and they had to really know their music in order to be able to play nevermind compete to win. This was actually better in my opinion idk a lot of these songs except for it's still fun watching this episode 😊maybe ill watch more who knows i might find some new tunes 😊 2nd its off to work we go snow white .

    I know the 1984-85 revival of Name That Tune aired in the NYC area on WABC-TV Channel 7 (as did the 1978-81 updated version w/ Tom Kennedy), but which station in L.A. carried the NTT revival. Was it KTLA Channel 5, being that the show was produced at the station's Golden West Studios?

      I think KNBC had it in Los Angeles.
      In Phoenix? I want to say KTVK, but I'm not sure (I was only six at the time).

      You're right. The show was produced at KTLA channel 5 at Golden West (now Sunset Gower Studios)

      And according to old listings, WXIA here in Atlanta also had Lange NTT...but only on Saturday nights at 7:30 (couldn't they air it late nights after Letterman?)!

      And I know the 1984-85 revival of Name That Tune aired in the Louisville area on WAVE-TV Channel 3 every weeknight at 7:30 immediately following NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw and WKYT in Lexington and WHAS in Louisville carried the Kennedy version of Name That Tune.
