Views: 2408
Finally, in color! Here's the opening for the Stooges / Rascals Hour on WFLD Channel 32, from an original master tape (which looks like it was transferred from 16mm film) - and therefore with no voiceover. (Previous to this we only had an off-air black-and-white recording of the opening, from 1979)
At the beginning, we briefly see the production slate showing that this was number 8856 and was crea...

WMAQ Channel 5 - NewsCenter5 At 10pm (Promo, 1977)
Views: 4004
Here is a two-minute, awesomely overdone promo (in that 70s way) for WMAQ Channel 5's NewsCenter5 At 10pm, starting off with a space motif and a laser-style lightning bolt traveling around the world and then back to Chicago ("From the stars to the planets, from Chicago to the ends of the earth" - voiceover by Brad Crandall), to promote "a new age of electronic journalism" (a reference to the adoption of video-based ENG) and the resources of NBC News. Some of the clips (of news events within ...
WBBM Channel 2 - The 20th Annual Chicago Emmy Awards (Part 1, 1978)
Views: 3013
The transfer of this video clip made possible by your generous donations!
This is a tremendous find - not only do we have another (mostly) complete Chicago Emmy Awards telecast - this one from the 70s - as part of the 20th Anniversary they decided to have a retrospective of the local TV stations! So we get to see some footage, slides and pictures, which apparently at this point in 1978 were not yet thrown out or forgotten by the TV stations. (Some of the clips or bu...

Views: 1806
Here is Part 3 of the Field Communications produced Way to Go! Special - an hour long (compilation?) showcase of some special kids and what they do. Has a lot of nice little slices of late seventies life as a kid. :-) The tape was dated May of 1980. My contact says that only a few of these "Specials" were made. Like I said, I'm not sure if these were compilations of segments shown on the regular Way to Go program, or if they were specifically produced for these specials. I am pretty sure thi...
