WCIU Channel 26 - "Old One" (Station ID Slide, 1982?)

Views: 1436

Here's an old WCIU Channel 26 Station ID slide - this little clip was between two shows on a tape - it doesn't last very long and doesn't have any audio.

Not sure what year this is from - 1982 would make sense based on it's location on the tape, but it seems older than that to me.

This station has a bit of a confusing history, but it now occupies the frequency 1690 AM.

WVON was a "heritage" station to Chicago's black community featuring great Black air personalities like Lucky Cordell, Bruce Brown, Herb Kent "the cool gent", Yvonne Daniels and many others. WVON became well-known outside the Chicago area as well. Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown Records, sent every song he produced immediately to WVON before any other station.

Here's a curious early commercial for "The Loop", WLUP FM 98 (97.9) featuring DJ Tom O'Toole. (still a jock at 94.7 WLS FM!)

Historical background courtesy ChicagolandRadioAndMedia.com - "O'Toole was the station's first-ever morning show host and first host heard on-air for the iconic rock station. O'Toole personally selected and played WLUP-FM's first-ever song to be broadcast on the station, "Morning Has Broken" by Cat Stevens. He later shifted to afternoons on The Loop."

Views: 2791

Here's another rarity - a partial station ID with a cool slide from WSNS TV-44. This aired at the beginning of an episode of The Invisible Man (series) which you can see a little bit of after the partial ID. The only other date clue I have is the ending credits which say that "To Tell The Truth" is next. Can any of our Schedule Sleuths find out when this might be from?

Voiceover (what there is of it) is by Mal Wyman.

I remember the guy on the left in this ID was named Bernie, but I don't remember the other two names. Would anyone else out there know?

This was filmed in front of the master control where they di...
