Views: 5769

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.

Views: 2188

Here's one of the bumpers they used on Son of Svengoolie featuring a ghostly image of Tombstone. This particular one came at the end of episode #258 when he aired "House of Frankenstein".

Most of the time Sven would tell a joke in a voiceover during these bumpers, but since this one was right after the end credits of the movie it just plays "Son's Theme" before cutting to the commercial break.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, July 7th 1984.
