Description: Here is a station sign-on for WMAQ Channel 5 and the opening of "The Health Field" (which also aired on WSNS Channel 44 at various times) Includes:

16 seconds of Color Bars and tone.

WMAQ-TV Chicago 5 logo and silence for about a minute, 15 seconds.

Black for about 45 seconds. (Exciting, eh?)

WMAQ-TV Chicago 5 logo (brighter?) and Station Sign-On voiceover, "Good Morning. This is WMAQ-TV Channel 5 NBC Television in Chicago, welcoming you to another day of outstanding television programs. WMAQ-TV constantly strives to maintain high programming standards in the public interest. The programs telecast by this station may not be used for any purpose except exhibition at the time of their telecast on receivers of the type ordinarily used for home reception in places where no admission, cover, or mechanical operating charges are made." (not sure of the announcer)

"Meditations" with Sister Rosemary Connelly of Misericordia Homes

Opening of "The Health Field" with Frank Field and Pamela Field (Married?? Way to go, Frank!) - Gotta love that cheesy electronic music.

This aired on local Chicago TV in the last week of July 1982.
