WKBS Channel 48 - Snipets - "Homework First" (1983)
Views: 991
Not from Chicago, but rather from a sister Field station in Philadelphia - WKBS Channel 48 - that was at the time a few weeks away from leaving the air permanently, a victim of the implosion of Field Communications.
This is an installment of Snipets which we're entitling "Homework First." The later animated Snipets open is used with the worms materializing and ending up inside a circle with the title atop them, and a 1974 copyright date is listed; though credited...

WKBD Channel 50 - "Kaiser To Field Notice" (1977)
Views: 5478
Here's a neat historical clip, even though it's not from Chicago. It's a public notice on WKBD Channel 50 announcing the sale of the Kaiser Broadcasting station to Field Communications.
Kaiser Broadcasting Company and Field Communications Corporation, filed with the Federal Communications Commission on March 16th 1977, an application seeking approval of the assignment of the license of WKBD-TV Channel 50 Detroit from Kaiser Broadcasting Company to Field Communications Corpo...
WBBM Channel 2 - The 20th Annual Chicago Emmy Awards (Part 1, 1978)
Views: 3006
The transfer of this video clip made possible by your generous donations!
This is a tremendous find - not only do we have another (mostly) complete Chicago Emmy Awards telecast - this one from the 70s - as part of the 20th Anniversary they decided to have a retrospective of the local TV stations! So we get to see some footage, slides and pictures, which apparently at this point in 1978 were not yet thrown out or forgotten by the TV stations. (Some of the clips or bu...
WLS Channel 7 - The 3:30 Movie - "Jason And The Argonauts" (Opening, 1978)
Views: 8881
Well, here it is - the opening to The 3:30 Movie on WLS Channel 7!! The movie was "Jason and the Argonauts" - unfortunately the beginning of the film cuts off the last couple seconds of the theme song - which you can hear in the bumpers, which I will post.
Funny, but I've seen these graphics elsewhere - they were also used for the same era's The Late Movie on WLS - except of course for the title change, everything else was the same - same swirling star graphics, ...
WGN Channel 9 - Miles Showcase Theatre - "The Maltese Falcon" (On-Screen ID, 1973)
Views: 2070
Here's an on-screen station ID from the Miles Showcase Theatre presentation of the 1941 Humphrey Bogart movie "The Maltese Falcon" on WGN Channel 9. The ID is typeset on a very primitive character generator system whose service dated back to the late 1960's, and was used by other stations and networks on such news events as the 1968 Democratic National Convention and the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing. This early CG typesetting preceded such systems as Vidifont and Chyron.

Here's a commercial for Heinz Pickles.
Uh, this one would fall under the category "unintentionally hilarious".
This aired on local Detroit TV on Thursday, April 21st 1977 during the 8 to 9pm hour. (Not Chicago TV, but still cool!)

Views: 9861
38 years ago today, this aired!
Here's the ending moments and a full commercial break from the long-running series Garfield Goose And Friends on WGN Channel 9, hosted by Frazier Thomas. This is significant as it is the only known color off-air recorded footage from the show yet found!
This was recorded at Ridgewood High School in Norridge (by whom, has been lost to time but we've narrowed it down to about four adults) on 3/4" U-matic videotape usin...
