WLS Channel 7 - Eyewitness News At 5pm (Ending, 1977)

Views: 3373

At the end of a tape was the ending only of the Eyewitness News at 5pm on WLS Channel 7. This came from a studio recording, not off-air, so the audio is eventually turned down and the picture goes to a static shot of the Eyewitness News set. Features Jay Levine, Terry Murphy, and Joel Daly.

The ICBM control room looks exactly like the one in the opening scene of WarGames!

Based on the news stories, this seems to be from Tuesday, December 27th 1977.

Here's a technical difficulties moment from WFBN Channel 66 during a broadcast of The Avengers.

We see the abrupt end of a commercial offer for a Civil War Chess Set and then a TV-66 "Road sign" station ID. Something's not quite kosher though as the interruption continues and the operator decides to make the most of it by playing some funky music (an excerpt of the song "What Is Hip", by Tower of Power) before the program returns.

During an airing of Eddie Korosa's Polka Party on WCIU Channel 26, the camera turns during a rendition of "All I Need Is You" to show some of the behind-the-scenes set-up. Thought you technical junkies out there might enjoy this little clip.

You can just make out the slide for the Baby Doll Polka Club on one of the monitors. :-)

Note: This recording was unfortunately made in Black & White even though the original broadcast was in color.

This is the clip that started it all - the first o...
