WLS Channel 7 - "The Original 3:30 (4:30) Movie Opening!" (1969-1973?)

Views: 7281

Ok, I couldn't resist doing a little "photoshop job" on the 4:30 Movie logo to make it look like 3:30. ;-) But this is still a significant find - the original opening to the ABC 4:30 Movie in New York (which apparently was exactly the same as the WLS 3:30 Movie here in Chicago, except with the title changed)

My thanks to YouTuber mazinz2 (Doug) for discovering this, and for generously donating a copy of the ...

Views: 2282

Here's the open from Son of Svengoolie episode Number 158 - the famous 3-D Movie - Revenge of the Creature! A great (slightly disappointing) moment in Chicago Broadcasting History! ;-)

I included the first couple minutes of the movie so you could see a little bit of the 3D effect - not so much during the titles, but as the movie starts you can see even without the glasses how the picture looks a little different. Not really sure how this was supposed to work with a black and...

WBBM Channel 2 - "Something For Joey" (Technical Difficulties, 1978)

Views: 2809

Here's a technical difficulties moment from the CBS Special Movie Presentation of "Something For Joey". We see a Johnny Morris WBBM Sports bumper followed by a Gaines Gravy Train dog food sponser slide, and then the return of the movie - which is soon cut short by the TD moment.

It was moments like these where we didn't know if the missiles were already on their way or not. ;-)

"Operating difficulties have caused an interruption in programming. We shall resume...
