Views: 2597

Here's another rare example of WFLD Channel 32's Keyfax Nite-Owl Service, notably the first six minutes thereof on this particular day.

Nite-Owl was WFLD's equivalent to two primitive (by today's standards), digital-based overnight "tele-text" services prevalent on British television, BBC's long-running Ceefax and ITV's (Independent Television, the commercial TV outlet) Oracle. Ceefax lasted up to the end of analogue television in England in ...

Son of Svengoolie - Assorted Clips Compilation (Part 9)

Views: 2339

This was on the same tape as the other bits, so I am calling it part 9 from a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie clips. I did not make this compilation - it has been floating around the trading circles for a long time, and this is the best copy I've been able to find. It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else.

Featuring:

What looks like an Entertainment Tonight (from Friday the 13th of - 1983, 1984?) report on local horror hosts from around th...

Views: 2370

Here is the ending for the Rodney Dangerfield special - "It's Not Easy Bein' Me" as aired on WLS Channel 7. At about 15 seconds in, the picture changes to what looks like a paused open for the WLS news for that night. (Kinda looks like Nite-Owl graphics)

During the ending credits you also get to here a preview for the 10pm Eyewitness News with voiceover by Mary Ann Childers. Top story being the Pope's message to Chicago and his trip being marred by a knife-wielding assailant...
