WKBS Channel 48 - Snipets - "Homework First" (1983)

Views: 991

Not from Chicago, but rather from a sister Field station in Philadelphia - WKBS Channel 48 - that was at the time a few weeks away from leaving the air permanently, a victim of the implosion of Field Communications.

This is an installment of Snipets which we're entitling "Homework First." The later animated Snipets open is used with the worms materializing and ending up inside a circle with the title atop them, and a 1974 copyright date is listed; though credited...

Son of Svengoolie interviews Chicago Sports Broadcasting icon Chet Coppock (incomplete) (with what looks like a strange Svengoolie logo in red at the end - it's hard to read)

Here's a version of "The Choice Is Yours" jingle/slogan and animation as used by WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit, starting off with shots of a sculpture with the General Motors building at Renaissance Center in the background, a local pastry shop, and a young child walking a dog, before that stack turns around to show the Field-era '50' logo.

Animation was done using the analog Scanimate video process.
