Here's a commercial for The House of Menna - Interior Designs. Phone 674-9200. According to my research they were located at 7165 North Cicero Avenue in Lincolnwood, IL. Here's an old print ad of theirs. They also used to advertise on the radio quite a bit on WKSC-FM 103.5 back in the early-mid 70s.

Views: 5332

Here's Part 1 of an episode of The Warren Freiberg Show on WCIU Channel 26. In case you weren't familiar with him, Warren Freiberg had some rather "extreme" and "fringe" opinions. He had a radio show, and you may also remember him turning up in little vignettes on Steve Dahl's "It's Too Early" show from 1983.

This part begins with a partial WCIU-TV Station ID (voiceover by Bill O'Connor) followed by the opening credits (anyone know who does the voiceover?)

WVTV Channel 18 [Milwaukee, WI] - "Partial EBS Test" (1980)

Views: 2862

Here's a partial test of the Emergency Broadcasting System on an unknown station in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. The person was recording some Woody Woodpecker cartoons and although they cut out the commercials they did decide to record most of the EBS test. It's pretty simple, consisting only of a single, rather discolored slide.

Did they have to traumatize kids by airing these tests during cartoons? It seems like they did the same thing in Chicago too from what I recall....
