Views: 2422

Here's a partial commercial break for "A Woman Rebels" on the WLS Late Night Movie. (before the recording cut off) Includes:

WLS Late Night Movie bumper (in Black & White - do they not "switch back over" to color quickly enough? Or is this a recording artifact?) (Notice again the use of the later 3:00 Movie music despite the "Swirling Star" graphics)

WMAQ Channel 5 - Editorial 5 - "Some Good News" (1978)

Views: 940

Here's an editorial by Dillon Smith, Editorial Director of WMAQ Channel 5, soaking in the sun at poolside outdoors during a company outing, and summarizing some good news of the summer season:

- Regional Transportation Authority promising no fare increases in the near future

- 1,200 people take advantage of Mayor Bilandic's mortgage plan offered at 8 percent interest

- Crime in Chicago down 8.8 percent, according to Police Superintendent Jim O'Grad...

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Larry Lujack" (1972)

Views: 2610

Here's a segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop.

This Break #2 from an unknown episode number features Larry Lujack - "Superjock" disc jockey from (at the time) WLS-AM 890 radio.

I'm thinking that "SYT #1" as the clapboard person says, refers to the fact that it's Movie #1. (2 movies a night were shown for most of the run of SYT)

WFLD Channel 32 - Keyfax Nite-Owl Service - "Episode Two!" (Opening, 1981)

Views: 3221

Hallelujah! A new (though relatively tiny) example of Nite-Owl on WFLD Channel 32 has been found! A truly rare find, indeed.

In fact, this is the first new "proper" footage of Nite-Owl discovered in about 6 years! (Even a couple tiny bleed-through excerpts were only found as recently as 4 years ago.) And what a clip! This one stands to rewrite the history of when Nite-Owl began, since all evidence before this seemed to point to the starting date as being early Mo...

WMAQ Channel 5 - NewsCenter5 At 5pm - "The Blizzard of '78" (Part 3, 1978)

Views: 2416

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 3, the final part, of some footage from the NewsCenter5 airing at 5pm on WMAQ Channel 5, with Mike Jackson, Ron Hunter, and Jerry Taft. Also features a very brief glimpse of one of WMAQ-TV's sports guys...
