Views: 8537

Here is a mostly complete Station Sign-On from WGN Channel 9. The National Anthem was cut.

The announcer doing the Station ID at the beginning is Carl Greyson and the voiceover for the Sign-On is Steve Hunter.

Followed by "WGN Television - 24 Hours a Day" ID with "Last Farewell" music (voiceover by Steve Hunter); which in turn is followed by part of opening titles of William Tell (a.k.a. The Adventures of William Tell), a British-produced syndicate...

Chicago Heart Assocation - "Do You Mime If I Smoke?" - Short Version (PSA, 1979)

Views: 1431

Here is the shorter, 10 second version of the Chicago Heart Association public service annoucement featuring Carleton the Mime. I think it's kind of ironic that the mime's name is very similar to a popular brand of cigarettes. ;-)

There is also a longer and medium length versi...

Here's yet another variation of the opening to the British anthology series Tales of the Unexpected, as aired this time on WLS Channel 7.

WCIU Channel 26 - "Old One" (Station ID Slide, 1982?)

Views: 1440

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.
