KBHK Channel 44 - Son Of Svengoolie - "Son Of Frankenstein" (Bumper, 1983)

Views: 1968

Here's a commercial bumper for the Son of Svengoolie presentation of "Son of Frankenstein" on one of the Field Communications affiliates - KBHK Channel 44 in San Francisco.

Also interesting to note that they titled it, "Svengoolie Movie".

This aired on local San Francisco TV on Saturday, May 21st 1983.

Views: 2557

Here's one more example not from Chicago TV but still interesting to show the differences in stations presentations' of The Day After (an ABC Theater telemovie about the effects of a full-scale nuclear attack on the United States).

WLS-TV did not have an on-screen station ID for the entirety of the movie. However, WJZ Channel 13 in Baltimore, Maryland did. I don't have the entire broadcast to see how many there were, but this is at least one example.
