WFLD Channel 32 - Chicago Stuff (Part 1, 1985)

Views: 2033

Here's a lost Koz Klassic! - Chicago Stuff - was it a failed pilot? A consolation prize from Fox Television for cancelling Son of Svengoolie a month later? A half-remembered dream? It only aired once, at 10pm on a Sunday in December 1985 - so you couldn't be blamed for not knowing it existed. (I only heard rumors) In any case, it's a neat little package of Rich's schtick, so just think of it as an extremely early episode of The Koz Zone. :-)

PM Magazine Chicago - "Rocky Horror" (1981)

Views: 2187

Here's a neat story on The Rocky Horror Picture Show musical that aired on PM Magazine Chicago featuring Mike Leiderman.

This is from the master 3/4" tape of the story, so it doesn't have the PM Magazine graphics that were shown on the off-air version.

Note: The audio on this is in stereo, with Leiderman's story voiceover on one channel and the music in another most of the time. (so if you're only hearing one or the other, that's the reason) I didn't g...

Hot Fudge Show (Part 3, 1974)

Views: 1942

Here's Part 3 of an episode of the Hot Fudge Show - which was produced in Detroit but also aired all over the country, including Chicago on WFLD, WSNS, and WLS, at various times during the 70's and early 80's.

This segment features another sketch with Arte Johnson and the Mitts and the Hot Fudge Newsreel Show featuring a visit to a paper-making plant.

Despite what the IMDB entry and Wikipedia entries say, the show began in 1974, as this episode is from that year ...

Way to Go (Part 1, 1980)

Views: 527

Here is Part 1 of a long-forgotten Field Communications produced program for kids called Way to Go. This episode (which may infact be the first one) is from 1980. Peter Kastner is the host.

I am pretty sure this was produced at the Field station KBHK-TV Channel 44 in San Francisco.

This program aired on WFLD Channel 32 in Chicago on Sunday mornings at 9:30am in July of 1981 (Thanks, smctopia!) and may have aired at other times too.

WBBM Channel 2 - "Have Your Children Done Their Homework?" (Station ID, 1979)

Views: 2048

Here's a station ID slide from WBBM Channel 2 with the "Project Learning" logo and a voiceover message (by Bob Carrington) asking if your children had done their homework yet. This is followed by the "CBS Bong".

This was along the lines of such famous top-of-hour messages as this one from WNEW (now WNYW) Channel 5 in New York (future sister station to our own WFLD Channel 32) that asked (and still asks) ever...

WLUP The Loop FM 98 - "Lorelei Lip-Syncing" (Commercial, 1980?)

Views: 5814

Here's a cool vintage commercial for WLUP - The Loop - FM 98. I believe this airing is from early 1980.

Features that original hot siren Loop chick - Lorelei, lip-syncing to Steve Dahl & Garry Meier, Les Tracy, Mitch Michaels (Doin' the Cruise!), and Sky Daniels!

(Also features a tiny snippet of a WFLD Channel 32 M*A*S*H bumper at the beginning) Enjoy!

Commercial Produced by Chuck Blore.

Here is probably the most famous segment of the animated short "The Most Important Person". This one's called "OOPS, I Made A Mistake!".

In Chicago, these aired during commercial breaks on WFLD Channel 32 and WTTW Channel 11 during the seventies and possibly as late as the early eighties.
