WSNS Channel 44 - Star Spangled Movie - "You're Telling Me!" (Bumper #3, 197?)
Views: 844
Here is something extremely rare - some bumpers and on-screen station ID's during the "Star Spangled Movie" presentation of the W.C. Fields film "You're Telling Me!" on WSNS Channel 44.
It's too bad this person didn't go to the kitchen to make a sandwich - it would have been nice to have a complete bumper or commercial break.
The music during the bumper segments is interesting - also notice they fade it up slowly a good 5 seconds before the bumper begins, while t...
Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Wilderness Road" - Musical Number (Segment #1-5, 1973)
Views: 1426
Here's another segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop. By this point, if the clapboard is of any indication, the SYT title had been eschewed in favor of Svengoolie.
This segment (#1-5) is from Show #59 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.
In this segment, "Greaser-Polka Band" Wilderness Road...
WFLD Channel 32 - Sci-Fi Cinema (Promo, 1971)
Views: 1518
Here's another extreme rarity - a promo for Sci-Fi Cinema on WFLD Channel 32, which apparently aired at the time on Saturdays at 1pm and 6pm and Sundays at 1pm.
Notice that the color comes on at the end of this promo. This is something I haven't been able to figure out on this really old material. On some of it, if the program was in black and white originally, then the commercial breaks will be in black and white too, except occasionally the color will come on. I really don...

WGN Channel 9 - Give Me Liberty - "Aural Difficulties" (1975?)
Views: 5697
Here's a segment from the made-for-TV movie "Give Me Liberty".
This clip is interesting because it contains a technical difficulties moment when the station lost the sound for the network feed and printed on the screen "Lost Network Sound. Please stand by."
At about the one minute mark and again at the 2 minute 43 second mark you hear two different announcers respectively, who are they? I think I have a clue but I'll let you guys guess.
"Our soun...

Views: 3869
Here's a commercial for former radio station WEFM 99.5 - "We" FM.
From Wikipedia:
History - 99.5 WEFM/99-"We" FM
Until 1978, 99.5 was classical WEFM. In May 1978, WEFM (after many years of litigation) was flipped to General Cinema Corporation from classical to top 40. In the mid to late 1970s, the station was essentially a top 40 station with the moniker 99-"We"-FM (WEFM). Morning shows were hosted by Dan Walker, the (Illinois) governor of Rock and Roll (former...
