WKBD Channel 50 - The Sunday Movie - "The Mudlark" (Opening, 1977)

Views: 3013

This is pretty cool - an old movie opening that they may have used a version of on WFLD - one of WKBD's sister stations.

Here's the opening to The Sunday Movie broadcast of "The Mudlark" on WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit. Check out those groovy green graphics. Also includes at the beginning the animated Kaiser Broadcasting ID and a WKBD bumper slide for Father's Day. (voiceover by ??)

WFLD Channel 32 - American League Championship Series - Sox Vs. Orioles - Game 1 (Opening, 1983)

Views: 5756

Here is the opening 8 minutes of Game 1 of the 1983 American League Championship Series, which was played between the Chicago White Sox and the Baltimore Orioles.

You get to see the cool Channel 32 graphics for their Sox coverage at the time, as well as the starting lineups and opening banter by announcers Don Drysdale and Ken Harrelson.

(By the way, the Sox won this game 2-1, but lost the series 3-1) :-(

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...

WKBD Channel 50 - Star Trek (Bumper #2, 1977)

Views: 2379

Here's another Star Trek bumper from one of WFLD's sister-stations - WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit - this one with a different font for the show name than the first one. The others can be seen here (January 1977) and here (June 1977).

This aired on local Detroit TV on Monday, April 25th 1977. (not Chicago, but still cool)

The Most Important Person - "Why Not Try?" (1972)

Views: 1352

Here is a segment of the animated short "The Most Important Person". This one's called "Why Not Try?". (color's a bit off - there's an off-air version with slight variations and better color here)

These aired on WFLD Channel 32 and WTTW Channel 11 during the late-seventies and possibly as late as the early eighties? (And, I'm sure, on many other local stations)

WFLD Channel 32 - Newscope - "The Blizzard of '67" and Other Stories (Part 2, 1967)

Views: 2073

Here's Part 2 of an edition of Newscope on WFLD Channel 32, anchored by Patrick Muldowney.

NOTE: This is the earliest footage currently known to exist of a WFLD broadcast (albeit via kinescope); the sound heard in the background on the right channel is of time code as heard on 3/4" Umatic tapes. (this is not our museum's transfer)

Includes:

Patrick reporting on other news:

Way to Go (Part 3, 1980)

Views: 425

Here is Part 3 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.

Not sure if this...

The Lost Snipets - "Spinning Tops" (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)

Views: 1349

I had some additional Snipets segments but they were transferred from 16mm film and did not have the opening and closing on them. So, I did a little editing job and added them in. This was an early one, notice it's only 30 seconds long as opposed to the usual 1 minute length that most were in later years. I found something cool to add to this - the circa 1975 title for Snipets, during the Kaiser Broadcasting era! Notice it is a little different from the Field era one that took over...
