WFLD Channel 32 - Super Cartoon Sunrise - Popeye Hour (Jingle Bumper, 1979?)

Views: 2106

Here is a WFLD Channel 32 kids' choice "jingle bumper" for Popeye Hour on Super Cartoon Sunrise.

I wonder who those kids' voices are that did the singing. Wouldn't it be cool to find out who they were?

"In Chicago the kids' choice is...Channel 32!"

Not sure when this aired exactly, but based on evidence in the recording, 1979 seems like a good bet, although technically it could have been early 1980 too.

WKBD Channel 50 - Star Trek (Bumper #1, 1977)

Views: 2481

Here's a neat early bumper for Star Trek on one of WFLD's sister stations - WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit. They didn't have any voiceovers or music - none of the others during the episode had them either. Star Trek fans were all business. ;-)

Since this aired so early in the year, I'm pretty sure this bumper design was also used in 1976 and maybe since the beginning of WKBD's airing of Star Trek re-runs? In other words, this is likely the very first bumper design in a long his...
