Views: 2602

Here's the ending of an Intermission during Movie Eleven's presentation of the Doctor Who story "The Claws of Axos". We see just a smidge of a WTTW ID slide and the ending of Don Ferris' voiceover and a Movie Eleven Intermission slide before they fade up with Part 3.

Previous to this we saw the opening with the snazzy music from the same broadcast.

Voiceover by Don Ferris.

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

Views: 2105

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: 2480

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...

WGN Channel 9 - News Excerpt With Marty McNeeley (1979)

Here's a brief excerpt of a newscast on WGN Channel 9 featuring John Drury (voice only) and Marty McNeeley. Not sure if this was a noon newscast or at 9pm. Stories include:

End of a story about a trial involving Chicago politician Swanstrom with courtroom sketches by Gary Gianni.

WFLD Channel 32 - The Jack Benny Show (Black & White Notice, 1974?)

Views: 1358

Finally - some WFLD stuff from the same batch that isn't from March 1971. ;-) Here is an on-screen notice during The Jack Benny Show on WFLD Channel 32 informing you of a "Black & White Telecast".

Can anyone with access to the old TV guides find a listing for The Jack Benny Show on WFLD? Also, refresh my memory - when was Kaiser Broadcasting in control of WFLD? I know it ended in September of 1977, but not when they began exactly.

Not sure when this aired exa...
