WPWR Channel 60 "Promotional Reel" (1984)

Views: 2846

Here's a neat promotional video made for WPWR Channel 60. Not sure how this was used or where it was shown, but it seems pretty clear that it wasn't used on-air. Includes scenes from their movie and TV show lineup, as well as a WLS news piece on the station. (edited out since it can be seen in it's entirety here)

Narrated by Neal Sabin, Channel 60 Program Director and voiceover savant.

WFLD Channel 32 - Promotional Sales Film (Part 2, 1970)

Views: 3776

Here is Part 2 - the final part, of a WFLD promotional film for (I assume) the sales department, meant to be shown to prospective advertisers on why WFLD was such a kick-arse station to buy time on.

The second part features company man Bill Jackson eliciting the help of his Cartoon Town denizens (such as Dirty Dragon and Weird) to explain the finer points of share, cumes, ratings, coverage, UHF penetration, and other reasons why you should advertise on "WFLD TV 32".

Atari Home Computers - Kiosk Videodisc Presentation (Part 1, 1982)

Views: 2737

Here's Part 1 of an interesting time capsule - the presentation from a videodisc that ran on an in-store kiosk display to demonstrate the Atari Home Computer. This was around the time of Dragon's Lair and other laserdisc games which made the medium very popular for encorporating with computers.

The label on the laserdisc says "E.R.I.C. POP". I know POP stands for Point of Purchase - not sure about the ERIC part.

Starring Brooke Alderson as "The Mom" (not sure o...

Here's a terrific piece of local history and the next best thing to a guided tour of WFLD's facilities circa 1970 for you broadcast equipment junkies out there (W.B. I'm looking in your direction...) ;-)

This is Part 1 of a WFLD promotional film for (I assume) the sales department, meant to be shown to prospective advertisers on why WFLD was such a kick-arse station to buy time on. And they do take their time - in the first part showing the aforementioned equipment spread, as...

If anyone has any additional information, please let us know. Includes:

Harris Bank - Internal Promotional Film (Workprint) (Part 1, 1982)

Views: 1856

Here's Part 1 of something pretty neat and rare - a workprint of an internal promotional film from Harris Bank of Chicago, titled Honesty and Fair Dealing: An Introduction to the Harris Bank and the People Who Make It Work, produced for the company's 100th anniversary in 1982. (although maybe it's just the slightly washed-out and dirty work print, this almost seems like it could be from about 1977 - right down to the funky music. I do know that bank culture always seems to be a bit be...
