Description: Here's the ending and break from the Channel 2 Showcase presentation of the 1968 film "Rosemary's Baby," and the (mostly) complete opening titles for The All-Electric Magik Lantern Moving Picture Show on WBBM Channel 2. Includes:

Tail end of ending credits of "Rosemary's Baby," with original 1968 "A Paramount Picture" bumper

Commercial: Sanyo car stereo radio with built-in cassette player - "Brings people together for the better life"

Ending title bumper for Channel 2 Showcase (theme music: "Race With The Devil" by Chris Gunning, from the KPM music library; this same bumper and theme were used by sister station WCBS Channel 2 in New York throughout the late 1970's and early 1980's for late Sunday night / early Monday morning showings of old episodes of the 1968-71 NBC Network series The Name of the Game, as seen on this 1978 clip) (voiceover promo for a repeat of Newsmakers with Walter Jacobson by Bob Carrington)

Commercial: New Electronic Master Mind by Invicta - "A Game of Cunning and Logic" - Two AA batteries not included

Station ID / bumper promo for Loni Anderson co-hosting The Mike Douglas Show starting Monday and continuing for the rest of the week at 3:30pm (based on this other clip, WCBS aired these shows with Ms. Anderson the following week [November 5th - 9th] at 4:30pm) (voiceover by ??) Notice the audio interference - we should come up with a special term for that unique reception problem where things generally look clear and sound good except when certain electronic text is on the screen. I hate that. This bumper promo is a textbook example of it.

Opening title sequence for The All-Electric Magik Lantern Moving Picture Show, which ran from 1971 to 1982 (do any of the music experts on here know which synth-heavy piece comprised their theme?) (voiceover by Bob Carrington describing plot of upcoming movie, the 1955 film "The Rose Tattoo" with Anna Magnani and Burt Lancaster, when tape cuts out)

This aired on local Chicago TV early Monday, October 29th 1979.
