The Big Idea! The Twin Towers, WPIX and the Henry Tillman

video thumbnail
This is WPIX's 20-minute documentary exploring the popular mid-1980s WPIX ad campaign featuring Henry Tillman, a fictional WPIX junior executive whose one job was to find a “big idea” to promote the station — and the obvious choice to promote Channel 11 was the Twin Towers, except poor Henry never got it.

The campaign was a huge success, and is fondly remembered to this day. We've interviewed all the key players in the campaign, including the actor himself.
