WSNS Channel 44 - The Money Movie - "China Gate" (Break #5, 1979)

Views: 1170

Here's some rare footage from another long-lost local movie show - "The Money Movie" on WSNS TV-44! The movie presented on this day was "China Gate". TMM was similar in concept to Dialing for Dollars. Viewers (mostly lonely housewives and old people from what it sounds like) would send in post cards with their name and phone number, and the host would call them live on the air during the movie breaks to see if they could answer some trivia questions. They answered an easy preliminary questio...

Way to Go! Special (Part 5, 1980)

Views: 384

Here is Part 5 of the Field Communications produced Way to Go! Special - an hour long (compilation?) showcase of some special kids and what they do. Has a lot of nice little slices of late seventies life as a kid. :-) The tape was dated May of 1980. My contact says that only a few of these "Specials" were made. Like I said, I'm not sure if these were compilations of segments shown on the regular Way to Go program, or if they were specifically produced for these specials. I am pretty sure thi...

WKBS Channel 48 - Snipets - "The Body Machine" (1983)

Views: 864

From another airing of a Flintstones rerun on the late, lamented WKBS Channel 48 in Philadelphia, PA, here is a segment of Snipets which we've entitled "The Body Machine."

With the beginning "worms" opening leading the way (and 1977 copyright date), we start off with a shot of a pre-teen boy running in slow motion as the narrator shows how the human body is like a machine, and as such has to be checked every now and then. Most of this segment takes place during a...

Views: 6374

Here's an incredible twofer - 1) A live voiceover promo given by Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall for the infamous Disco Demolition event that took place the following night. Little did they know what was about to occur. They talk about Lorelei and how for some reason WLUP's call letters don't make sense to them.

2) Amazingly, right after they are done talking about WLUP, Greg Pryor pops up a foul ball behind him and Harry goes after it with his trusty fishing net and catches ...

Here's a rare segment from the morning show Kennedy and Company on WLS Channel 7, hosted by the late Bob Kennedy. This was the predecessor to AM Chicago (which was begun after Kennedy's death in 1974), and is considered in some corners to be an ancestor to the recently-ended The Oprah Winfrey Show.

This segment was devoted to the disc jockeys of WLS Musicradio 8...
