WMAQ Channel 5 - NewsCenter5 Special Report - "Winter Of '79" (Part 3, 1979)

Views: 748

Here's Part 3, the last part, of a NewsCenter5 Special Report on WMAQ Channel 5 about the great snowstorm of 1979. Features Chuck Henry, Jim Ruddle, Jim Tilmon, Dick Kay.

This part mostly seems to be a rehash of earlier reports in the broadcast - which perhaps explains why the person recording this decided to cut out early. Unfortunately, we miss the live discussion with Governor Thompson.

Note: The airdate for this is correct. Even though the major snowfal...

GK Chevrolet Of Downers Grove (Commercial, 1977)

Views: 3976

Here's an extremely low budget commercial for GK Chevrolet in Downers Grove. It looks like someone's Super 8 home movies, and it isn't helped by a technical problem with the audio - the announcer keeps cutting out. Then he seems a bit lost. Finally, the last 15 seconds of the live read feature dead air with a clock plaintively ticking in the background.

GK Chevrolet is now Bill Kay Chevrolet - part of the Bill Kay Automotive Group - still at the same place, 1601 Ogden Avenue...

Views: 10730

Ah, this one is great on so many levels...the funky bassline, the organ music, the creepy Santa...oh man. Here's a commercial for Dispensa's Castle of Toys in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois on Route 83 and Roosevelt Road.

I probably should have posted this back during Christmas but oh well. I'm sure you'll forgive me.

The only other Dispensa-related commercial we had until this one ...

The Lost Snipets - "Homework Now!" (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)

Views: 1589

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, circa 1975. 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 in 1977. Enjoy.

This one features an Art-Clokey-esque stop-film animation o...

WGN Channel 9 - Garfield Goose and Friends - "Mama Goose & Cornhusk Dolls" (1974)

Views: 7308

Here's one of only a few existing Garfield Goose and Friends segments, this one featuring a visit from Mama Goose as well as Hobby Corner with Amy Simon and her cornhusk dolls. All the cartoon and non-studio segments have been removed. (I assume this wasn't from an off-air recording)

Has anyone tried to track down Ms. Amy Simon who lived on Wesley Avenue in Evanston, IL who has 1 sister (now around 48 years old) and 1 brother (now around 46 years old)? Amy herself would be a...

Views: 1425

Here's a test of the Emergency Broadcast System from ABC affiliate WFAA Channel 8 in Dallas, TX. This test goes off without a hitch, as the requisite dual tones of 853 and 960 Hz are heard for 23 seconds.

Voiceover by ?? (with the EBS script displayed on screen via different slides, set in Helvetica Medium; albeit differing in some areas from how the voiceover read the script).

"This station serves the Dallas operational area." (What, no reference to For...
