this is
too cool to be true surely lol, someone pinch me!!
as some of you know, my screen name is partly Knight Rider, and partly Nintendo, two of my biggest passions in life. Well, Nintendo have just started sponsoring Knight Rider on Bravo here in the UK!! Their NES Classics Series for the Game Boy Advance are "taking you back to the eighties with Knight Rider"! How cool!!
Recently in the Nintendo magazines there has been a lot of talk about The Big N getting involved in a few sponsorship deals, I think it's great that they think KR is a great choice! Goes to show how popular it must still be on Bravo after all these years of constant showings!!
(woohoo!)

It's not the first time "NES Classics" have sponsored Knight Rider on Bravo, they did
it for a while a few months ago, not long before Bravo got a new "on screen" look.
IIRC, it was mentioned on this forum at the time, and someone noticed that the
voiceover in the sponsorship bumper was someone impersonating KITT's voice.

Yeah, they've been sponsoring the show on and off for about 8 to 10 months now.
When it first started, the Bravo site offered people the chance to "win a NES with Knight Rider"
Still, good to see an 80s show can still get sponsorship on prime time TV. Especially when its Knight Rider.

who would have thought in the 21st century knight rider would be on prime-time five days a week, with afternoon weekend showings, with two day twelve-hour marathons and all sponsored by a huge mutil-national entertainment company!!! it truly would have been unbelievable a few years ago!
