WMAQ Channel 5 - "Memory" (1984)

Views: 3385

Here's a video montage (missing beginning part) that WMAQ Channel 5 used as part of their sign-off apparently for a few years. It features the song "Memory" from the musical "Cats", and showcases Chicagoland senior citizens and various aspects in their lives. Kind of a strange thing to show during sign-off. I mean, for what purpose was this made? Other than to make you realize that your life is going by as you watch TV at 3 in the morning before the station signs-off? ;-)

Here's a commercial for British Sterling cologne for men. Seems similar to Velamints commercials of the same era.

It's hard to see but I think it says Spiegel at the bottom - the place you could get this at.

This aired on local Chicago TV a few days before 11-21-77.

WCIU Channel 26 - Black's View Of The News (Brief Excerpt, 1970)

Views: 5759

Here is a very brief excerpt of the show "Black's View of the News" on WCIU Channel 26, hosted by Don Cornelius of Soul Train fame.

You can see Don taking calls from people - having them call in to 663-9553. He is asking people who the most effective and relevant black leader is - to which the caller answers Jesse Jackson - certainly true for the time I would say. You can also see an old WCIU-TV 26 logo placard in the background.

This excerpt was found on a two...
