WMAQ Channel 5 - NewsCenter5 At 10pm (Promo, 1977)
Views: 3995
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 ...

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!

Views: 1802
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...

WMAQ-TV Chicago Station ID Slide & PSA Voiceover Promo (by Jim Hill)
Newscast oddly begins with no opening sequence (perhaps due to Kennedy running long?) and then anchor Deborah Norville introduces the top story: Mayor Harold Washington c...
