Views: 1367

Here's Part 4, the last part, of the Field Communications produced mini-documentary, "Into The Valley of The Space Invaders" hosted by Bob Wilkins. This fun special takes a look behind the video game phenomenon and interviews some of the Silicon Valley artists, programmers, and engineers involved in making them.

Obviously this airing is from the San Francisco Field outlet, KBHK Channel 44, but here in the Chicago area this program aired at least twice on WFLD Channel 32 - on <...

WFLD Channel 32 - Movie For A Saturday Afternoon - "The Kettles On Old McDonald's Farm" (Break #2, 1980)

Views: 851

Here's something pretty rare - some footage from WFLD Channel 32's Movie for a Saturday Afternoon featuring the Kaiser-era 32 logo, so this must have dated to at least early 1977 (previous to this we only had a tiny excerpt of this bumper). Most of it was taped over unfortunately, but this is what remains. This second segment, with ID and complete commercial break, includes:

WGN Channel 9 - "Lottery Trainwreck" (1988)

Views: 2438

Here's an interesting clip - the Illinois Lottery drawing on WGN Channel 9 where on this particular night, the balls did not drop into the mixing chamber for the "Cash 5" game and the winning numbers had to be selected off camera and given via an on-screen scroll about 20 minutes later, during the 7 O'Clock Movie airing of "Vertigo".

Featuring Merri Dee doing the drawing. Not sure who the voiceover is by, although it sounds a little like Joan Kohn. Also features supervision b...

WSNS Channel 44 - everybody's movie - "Holy Matrimony" (Commercial Break, 1976)

Views: 1209

Here's something pretty cool and rare - one of the oldest off-air WSNS clips I've ever personally found - a commercial break for the everybody's movie presentation (this was the 70s, hence no need to capitalize) of the 1943 Monty Woolley / Gracie Fields film "Holy Matrimony" on WSNS Channel 44. From what Chris Tufts (Phantom) recalls, this was a short-lived Sunday afternoon movie showcase. Includes:

everybody's movie bumper (anyone know what the music is?)
