Views: 3261

Here's Part 1 of an edition of The Dorsey Connors Show on WNBQ Channel 5 (which, like most shows of this period, is only available via 16mm kinescope film).

But whereas Ms. Phillip continually remade herself (and in the process, remained a Chicago TV p...

Here's the opening of The Underdog Show from it's waning run on WFLD Channel 32 - Summer of 1990. Includes a quick weather report by Dan Dobrowalski (sp?) at the beginning and the memorable Underdog opening.

Views: 2862

Here's a partial test of the Emergency Broadcasting System on an unknown station in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. The person was recording some Woody Woodpecker cartoons and although they cut out the commercials they did decide to record most of the EBS test. It's pretty simple, consisting only of a single, rather discolored slide.

Did they have to traumatize kids by airing these tests during cartoons? It seems like they did the same thing in Chicago too from what I recall....
