"Mike and Mike. They even cover showers."

By ED BARK
KXAS-TV (Channel 5) had Jane and Mike (news anchors McGarry and Snyder), immortalized in a series of mid-1990s "JAM" promos.

KDFW-TV (Channel 4) had Mike and Mike (sports anchor Doocy and weatherman Burger), who got something of a copycat buildup in 1995.

We're still waiting for someone to unearth and post a JAM spot on youtube. That'd be nirvana. Meanwhile, snack on this kinda goofy 30-second "Mike and Mike" spot. Fourteen years later, Doocy remains in place while Burger has long since left Ch. 4 and currently takes temperatures at CBS11.
