WGN Channel 9 - The Ray Rayner Show - "Clock Excerpts #1" (1971)
Views: 4543
The transfer of this video clip made possible by your generous donations!
Here's the good news - someone recorded The Ray Rayner Show at various times in the early seventies! Now the bad news - they only recorded the cartoons, and cut out nearly everything else. :-( I bring you the only snippets left - a few excerpts of the clock that they would show the time on, and in some cases, the chalkboard with the date, weather, and sports scores. Some might wonder why...

Views: 1080
Here's the opening titles for the Saturday Night Double Feature from KOCO Channel 5 in Oklahoma City, OK. Dig the early video effects, as well as the synth-heavy theme music (which has been revealed to be "Topless Dancers of Corfu" by Dick Hyman and His Electric Eclectics, released in 1969 on Command single #RS 45-4126 [later switched to the ABC/Probe label under the same catalogue number] as the B-side of his Top 40 hit from that year, "The Minotaur"; both were also on his LP Moog...
WMAQ Channel 5 - NewsFive - [Partial] Coverage of Sam Giancana Funeral with Rich Samuels (1975)
Views: 2283
Here's a partial, incomplete report from Rich Samuels of WMAQ Channel 5 on the funeral of former Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana.
We catch this report as Rich lists Giancana's crime career, going back to Al Capone and including gambling and prostitution rings. He describes "a sea of anonymous faces" which mostly dominated the funeral service, except for Keely Smith who, he said, signified his preferences for "show business types in his later years." He notes about the hostility...

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 (#2-2) is from Show #61 (according to the clapboard, which lists as guest one Aaron Gold, although Larry "Superjock" Lujack made an appearance earlier in the pr...
WGN Channel 9 - Creature Features - "The Wolf Man" [Opening Re-Creation] (1970-1976)
Views: 14951
Here is a re-creation (not original) of the opening of the legendary Creature Features program on WGN Channel 9. Normally I don't approve of re-creations, but since this is such an important piece of Chicago TV history, and since such scant authentic material exists for this program (only off-air audio recordings and a "gag" type promo that was made for an old WGN Sales Department presentation) - I figured this was worth an exception.
It's a shame that no authentic off-...

Hooray for Reading - "Bad Times of Irma Baumlein" (#9, 1979)
Views: 1247
Here is the ninth in a series of ten, minute-long shorts (or interstitials as they are sometimes known) created by Field Communications for children called Hooray for Reading. These would air during the commercial breaks on kid's shows and cartoons. (Sorry, I don't have the 10th and final one)
These featured kids briefly doing some other activity besides reading (the "hook") and then describing a book they like using a brief dramatization of a part in the story.
