WLS Channel 7 - Hot Fudge Show (Excerpt, 1980?)

Views: 5726

Here is a small excerpt from the Hot Fudge Show as aired on WLS Channel 7. This is all I found - wish there was more, but at least you get to hear a little of the theme song.

This show aired on WFLD Channel 32, WLS Channel 7, and at one point WSNS Channel 44.

Hot Fudge bumper voiceover by Janice Kos

Not sure when this was recorded exactly; the only clue is the Honeycomb cereal commercial at the end, which is why I placed this at around 1980.

Here's Part 4 (the last part) of the final episode of Al Lerner Sports on WSNS Channel 44. Lerner was the station's first sportscaster, and would go on to a long career with such stations as WLS Channel 7, WMAQ Channel 5, WGN Radio 720 and WSCR-AM, as well as being a wrestling announcer. Also featuring a young (and at this point, moustacheless) Tim Weigel, then a sportswriter for the now-defunct Chicago Daily News, who himself would become a familiar face on Chicago television, worki...

Toy Gallery (Commercial #2, 1975?)

Views: 815

Here's another almost identical commercial for the Toy Gallery, a local business at 1825 North Lincoln that advertised on WSNS Channel 44's Popeye with Steve Hart.

This ad [which comes after a brief CG slate marked "VTR: 586 - Cut: 2 - Toy Gallery (CM :30) - M.T./D.M." - the M.T. standing for director Mike Torchia; not sure what the D.M. is] has the exact same shots (and music and voice effects) as the other variation, except this has no explanatory voiceover.

Views: 5037

Here's a neat promo for the WLS Channel 7 all-star Eyewitness News team Flynn-Daly-Coleman-Frink-And-Drury. (Fahey Flynn, Joel Daly, John Coleman, Bill Frink, and John Drury)

Featuring Don Ferris (former WSNS and WTTW announcer) as the old-time radio guy in the tux at the beginning.

Directed by the legendary Joe Sedelmaier. (of "Where's the Beef" fame, and countless others)

Not sure what year this is from, but 1973 seems a good estimate.
