WLS Channel 7 - Eyewitness News - "Superfan Slims Down" (1980)
Views: 5040
Here's Tim Weigel's sports report and the ending of the WLS Channel 7 Eyewitness News at 10pm. Includes stories on the Chicago Bulls "Superfan" (Jeff Platt) and his dramatic weight loss in an interview with "Big Al" Al Lerner. (I wonder if Platt was the inspiration for the SNL sketch about "The Superfans" featuring George Wendt, Chris Farley and Robert Smigel?) Other stories include Muhammed Ali stumping for President Jimmy Carter, and Mike Schmidt winning the MVP for the World Series.

Views: 3986
Here's an extremely low budget commercial for GK Chevrolet in Downers Grove. It looks like someone's Super 8 home movies, and it isn't helped by a technical problem with the audio - the announcer keeps cutting out. Then he seems a bit lost. Finally, the last 15 seconds of the live read feature dead air with a clock plaintively ticking in the background.
GK Chevrolet is now Bill Kay Chevrolet - part of the Bill Kay Automotive Group - still at the same place, 1601 Ogden Avenue...
