Here's a rare segment from the morning show Kennedy and Company on WLS Channel 7, hosted by the late Bob Kennedy.

The transfer of this video clip made possible by your generous donations!

Here's a very small excerpt of the very tail end of a News/Sports Wrap (try one, they're delicious) with Chet Coppock that aired on WFLD Channel 32. At the time, Mr. Coppock was one of the station's staff announcers (as was Del Clark), as well as sportscaster; only in his early 20's at the time, he went on to a long career in sports broadcasting, and is regarded as one of the fathers of spo...

Views: 1431

Here's another segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop. By this point, if the clapboard is of any indication, the SYT title had been eschewed in favor of Svengoolie.

This segment (#1-5) is from Show #59 (according to the clapboard). However, there is no recording date.

In this segment, "Greaser-Polka Band" Wilderness Road...
