Views: 1275

Here is Part 2 of some segments of a WLS Channel 7 Eyewitness News "Close Up" feature - "The Angry Sky: Tornadoes & Other Natural Disasters (Tornadoes, Lightning, and Floods). This series ran throughout the entire week.

This part features Joey Daly, Dr. Walt Lyons reporting, and a brief glimpse of Fahey Flynn at the end. Seems like there was a brief techincal difficulties moment at the end with Dr. Walt Lyons' audio turned off.

This aired on local Chicago TV on...

Here's a partial segment from Son of Svengoolie episode #122 showing the original "Dracula" on WFLD Channel 32.

"The Beer Hunter" parody movie promo with Jim Barton announcing.

A part of the mail segment before the tape sadly runs out. :-(

That's it for this one...

Snipets - "What Will I Be When I Grow Up?" (1980)

Views: 3170

Here is another rare Snipets segment! These would air on Field Communications stations such as WFLD Channel 32 in the 70's and 80's.

This one is a bit fuzzy, but it's the best we have so far. This one also features the older "patchwork" logo of Snipets as well as a different group of kids saying "Snipets!". There is also a voiceover at the end which sounds like George Takei - "Snipets are produced by Field Communications". This voiceover was dropped when the "worms" version to...

Santa's Village with Larry Lujack - "Just a Kid At Heart" (Commercial, 1980)

Views: 2458

Here's a commercial for The Three Worlds of Santa's Village in Dundee, Illinois featuring legendary radio legend Larry Lujack, the charming and delightful ol' Uncle Lar.

Superjock is wearing a #89 jersey, which likely was a subtle (?) nod to his longtime home station WLS-AM 890 ("The Big 89").

Is there something in this ad that is slightly unsettling?

The Most Important Person - "Why Not Try?" (1972)

Views: 1360

Here is a segment of the animated short "The Most Important Person". This one's called "Why Not Try?". (color's a bit off - there's an off-air version with slight variations and better color here)

These aired on WFLD Channel 32 and WTTW Channel 11 during the late-seventies and possibly as late as the early eighties? (And, I'm sure, on many other local stations)

Views: 2594

Here's another (partial) rare Snipets segment! These originally were created by and aired on the Kaiser Broadcasting / Field Communications stations such as WFLD Channel 32, in the 70s and early 80s. However, with the sale and dissolution of Field starting in 1982, for whatever reason Snipets segments popped up on a few other non-Field or former-Field stations, even as late as 1986!
