Views: 4114

Here is a really brief station sign-off from WFLD Channel 32. We see the ending of a Ma & Pa Kettle movie (Ma & Pa Kettle at Home, based on the cast), Latenight 32 ending (with the circa 1984 Metromedia-era logo), the Fox 32 logo animation, and a quick cut to color bars with date and time. No national anthem or anything - must have been too late. zzzzzzz

Views: 1918

Here's another rare Snipets segment! These originally were created by and aired on the Kaiser Broadcasting / Field Communications stations such as WFLD Channel 32, in the 70s and early 80s.

Here's a bumper for The Best of Groucho on WFLD Channel 32. No "zooming text" here, but the text (in dark brown type) does come up over cigar smoke billowing from a version of the image of Groucho Marx as from the cover of his 1972 A&M album An Evening with Groucho. This bumper uses the middle section of the opening and closing theme, "Hooray for Captain Spaulding."
