At the end of a tape was the ending only of the Eyewitness News at 5pm on WLS Channel 7. This came from a studio recording, not off-air, so the audio is eventually turned down and the picture goes to a static shot of the Eyewitness News set. Features Jay Levine, Terry Murphy, and Joel Daly.

The ICBM control room looks exactly like the one in the opening scene of WarGames!

Based on the news stories, this seems to be from Tuesday, December 27th 1977.
