WCFC Channel 38 - Liberty Temple Full Gospel News - "Mad" (Part 4, 1987)

Views: 1556

Here's Part Four of the movie "Mad" on WCFC-TV Channel 38 - our religious station in Chicago - during the program "Liberty Temple Full Gospel News". This feels like something that should be part of the Found Footage Festival.

It ends with a "To Be Continued..." which alas was at the end of the recording, so we are left without a conclusion. :-(

Here's Part 7 of a fairly early episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show - back when they were still producing it in the WLS-TV studios, and when they were still using the old AM Chicago music as the theme.

WBKB Channel 7 - News - "Local Kennedy Assassination Coverage" (1963)

Views: 8292

Here's a really rare clip - some local coverage of the JFK assassination on WBKB Channel 7 (which later became WLS Channel 7). This is from the day after the event, when they were still trying to connect the dots. (although I am amazed at how much they have already tracked down, including Oswald's alias and where he bought the gun - Klein's Sporting Goods Company (!) at 227 West Washington Street in Chicago - owned by Mr. Milton Klein) (no relation) ;-)

Views: 650

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 is from Show #61 (according to the clapboard), with guest Larry "Superjock" Lujack. The recording date was April 11th 1973.
