SnowBird Bank - WSMV Channel 4 plastic Snowbird bank. This item was a promotional give away by a local Nashville TV station to a lucky caller. . The bank is approximately 8 1/2" in height with a production run of 2000 pieces and retired in 2000. He's Nashville's most recognized television personality who became synonymous with winter school closing reports in the Mid-South. Channel 4's SnowBird has been notifying Tennessee and Kentucky children about school closings for over 25 years. In the winter of 1983 SnowBird took on life. Guided by his buddy and mentor, Channel 4's Bill Hall, SnowBird has since established himself as an honest-to-goodness Channel 4 personality. He's witty and fun-loving, but cares about the safety of kids when snow hits the streets. But SnowBird is more than a winter weather presence. During his long career, SnowBird has appeared in a year-long "Word from SnowBird" public service series, starred in three Christmas specials, and hosted children's programs about sportsmanship and self-esteem. These efforts have earned the Bird numerous awards, including regional Emmy awards. Although he is made by Funko he is not a bobblehead.
