Here's a station ID from WTTW Channel 11 on the occasion of the 35th Anniversary of the station, featuring the Museum of Broadcast Communications and some of it's employees. I worked there for about a year back then, when they were located in the River City complex.

Here's a brief commercial for Hollands Jewelers, with shots of different diamonds being offered. With five Chicagoland locations in Evergreen, Lakehurst, Woodfield, Fox Valley and North Riverside.
