I'm in the right age group to remeber that song well from my childhood. That said, I remeber it well, but I'm not sure I had the same connection to it as it being a source of pride for the city. I always viewed it as a catchy gingle that 2&7 played to advertise it's station between programs. I was pretty young in the 80's too, and even back then I think I caught on to it being an advertisement for a TV station, not some sort of "city anthem" as it's being portrayed, or maybe that was just me.
