Views: 1887

Here's an edition of the post-game 10th Inning show on WGN Channel 9, hosted by Jack Brickhouse, with guest Bob Lurie who had just assumed majority ownership of the San Francisco Giants. This was after a grueling 14-inning session which saw the Cubs beat the Giants at Candlestick Park, 6-5, in the first game of a doubleheader. This was also from the days when remote broadcasts such as the Cubs / Giants match carried this day by WGN went through separate transmissions (one for the vid...

WFLD Channel 32 - The Baxters - "Women's Roles In Marriage"(Part 1, 1980)

Views: 5363

Here's Part 1 of the Norman Lear created "interactive" program, The Baxters, as aired on WFLD Channel 32.

It was a pretty unique idea - the first half would be a fairly normal sitcom (whether or not it's any good is another question) that dealt with some issue of the day. The second half would be an in-studio discussion group to talk about the issues raised. Each city had their own locally produced second half (except for those who chose to use the "national" version) ...

Here is something from the extremely fuzzy memory department - a very staticy clip of the ending of Soul Searching (public affairs program for African-Americans I can only assume) followed by a Field Communications ID, a WFLD All in the Family promo and then the opening and first couple minutes of Chicago '80 - hosted by Norman Mark - with that weeks topic - "Atheism - Is there a God?".

Featuring Ouida Lindsey as host of Soul Searching (Fashions by Holiday ...

Here's a clip featuring Mayor Jane Byrne throwing out the first pitch at a Cubs game, followed by the singing of the National Anthem (mostly complete) by Jimmy Damon (the inspiration for Bill Murray's lounge singer character on Saturday Night Live), then the starting lineups and opening moments of the game.
