WKBD Channel 50 - Star Trek (Bumper #1, 1977)

Views: 2499

Here's a neat early bumper for Star Trek on one of WFLD's sister stations - WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit. They didn't have any voiceovers or music - none of the others during the episode had them either. Star Trek fans were all business. ;-)

Since this aired so early in the year, I'm pretty sure this bumper design was also used in 1976 and maybe since the beginning of WKBD's airing of Star Trek re-runs? In other words, this is likely the very first bumper design in a long his...

Mayor Jane Byrne - "This City Is Back" (Political Ad, 1983)

Views: 1927

Here's a political ad for Mayor Jane Byrne touting her success in balancing Chicago's budget, hiring more police and firemen, and instituting property tax cuts - in contrast with budget deficits facing New York City, Washington, DC and other major cities. (Alas, all these accomplishments wouldn't be enough to save her job, as before the year was out the Windy City had its first African-American mayor, Harold Washington.)

Voiceover by Alan Bleviss.

WLS promo for the "new" 3:00 Movie - "Where Were You When The Lights Went Out?" (voiceover by Dick Tufeld) (was this during a trial period of the 3:00 Movie?
