**Warning: May be slightly inappropriate for some environments. Contains material which some people may consider unsuitable for younger or more sensitive listeners. Viewer discretion is advised.**
It's not Chicago-related, but it is a pretty funny collection of bloopers and other behind-the-scenes footage from the news that you don't usually get to see. I'm assuming that this was produced by an insider. Includes footage from ABC, CBS, NBC, and others.

Views: 8020

At the end of a tape, after a recording of a movie ended, there was a bit of a previous recording that was taped over. We see most of the National Anthem, then some strange black and white bars, and then static. In the static you can hear bleeding through what perhaps was on another channel at the same time (during the static the tape kept speeding up which is why the audio races at times)

RetroNewfoundland (Vintage Canada) was enterprising enough to slow down the audio heard a...
