ON TV - Subscription Television Chicago (1983)

Views: 2592

Here is a clip of some footage from ON TV Subscription Television, which was an early cable TV option in Chicago. (not sure if other cities had it)

I think this clip dates to March 1983, since Quest for Fire was not released in the US until 1982, so I don't think cable would have gotten it until the next year.

Here's an old WCIU Channel 26 Station ID slide - this little clip was between two shows on a tape - it doesn't last very long and doesn't have any audio.

Not sure what year this is from - 1982 would make sense based on it's location on the tape, but it seems older than that to me.

Views: 6988

Here's Part 1 of some nice wholesome entertainment - the exercise show, 20 Minute Workout. 8-) Not a complete episode unfortunately, but almost. We are missing the opening and most of the ending credits.

This aired on WFLD Channel 32 originally, but moved to WPWR Channel 60 after a year or two.

Are they on a rotating platform? It can't just be the cameras moving, right? I wonder if they got dizzy spinning around like that for so long?
