Here's a report from Fred Villanueva of WLS Channel 7 on the funeral of slain mob boss Sam Giancana. This was apparently from the 5pm edition, as the report is introduced by John Drury.

After the report ends, John is about to report on a hearing ...

Everyone remembers the great Blizzard of '79 - but how many people remember the Blizzard of 1978? Before the big snow in 1979 hit, this seemed fairly significant I guess, although not as bad as the Big Snow of 1967. Was this just a case of snow-perbole? You decide.
Here is Part 2 of some footage from the NewsCenter5 airing at 5pm on WMAQ Channel 5, with Mike Jackson, Ron Hunter, and Jerry Taft.
This part features the "5 Minutes" segment with guest Dr. Edward W...
