WSNS Channel 44 - The Star Spangled Movie - "Dimension 5" (Promo, 1980)

Views: 1384

Here's a promo for the 10-13-80 airing of the Star-Spangled Movie presentation of the 1966 film "Dimension 5" on WSNS TV-44. Previous to this we saw a few other glimpses of this bumper movie show - maybe it always aired at 3:30pm on weekdays? Could this help definitively date those other clips?

Voiceover by Don Ferris.

This promo aired on local Chicago TV the second we...

WFLD Channel 32 - Mission: Impossible - "Break!" (Bumper Excerpt, 1977)

Views: 1077

Here's something pretty rare and cool, though it's only very brief - an excerpt of a bumper from Mission: Impossible on WFLD Channel 32 during the Kaiser Broadcasting era! If you pause the video near the end you can see a stylized slide of Peter Graves along with the show name and WFLD Kaiser logo.

Rarer than a Hen's tooth, this stuff is. ;-)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, April 1st 1977 during the 9pm to 10pm timeframe.

Hot Fudge Show (Part 3, 1974)

Views: 1946

Here's Part 3 of an episode of the Hot Fudge Show - which was produced in Detroit but also aired all over the country, including Chicago on WFLD, WSNS, and WLS, at various times during the 70's and early 80's.

This segment features another sketch with Arte Johnson and the Mitts and the Hot Fudge Newsreel Show featuring a visit to a paper-making plant.

Despite what the IMDB entry and Wikipedia entries say, the show began in 1974, as this episode is from that year ...

WFLD Channel 32 - Emergency One (Promo, 1977-78)

Views: 1856

Here's a promo for Emergency One (original syndicated title for the 1972-77 series Emergency!) on WFLD Channel 32. This promo, with no voiceover, starts off with the station's then-current "Look At Us!" slogan (with Kaiser-era logo) and shows short segments from various Emergency! episodes.

Since this was from a master tape we can only assume that it would have had a voiceover by Ron Beattie and a super of the WFLD logo and show name at the end, when it ac...

WTVO Channel 17 - "Snow Scene" (Station ID Slide, 1976)

Views: 4138

Here's a rare Station ID and slide from WTVO Channel 17.

Voiceover by Bob Kevern.

"Bob was the weather man and did most of the booth announcing. Bob also introduced the weather window, with shots of citizens waving at the camera. Bruce Richardson anchored the news and was a wonderful person. Bob Lewis did the sports and had a loose casual style. If Ernie Banks dropped in - he was on the air. Those were good times." - Ted Schwandt

18 Golden Hits of 1976 (Record Offer, 1977)

Views: 3767

Here's a record offer for "18 Golden Hits of 1976" with songs performed by "The Sound Effects" (or "The original Sound Effects" as the announcer helpfully mentions). It's another album of knock-offs (although at least from this ad, not quite as bad as the infamous "Muskrat Love" collection)

"After you forget all about the Bicentennial, this is what you'll remember 1976 for..."

WFLD Channel 32 - Tic Tac Dough - "Screwy Voiceover" (Bumper Promo, 1980)

Views: 3420

Here's a bumper promo for Tic Tac Dough on WFLD Channel 32. The Jim Barton voiceover started late and so we get to hear more of the background Field Communications music than usual.

They also screwed up because Tic Tac Dough wasn't next, Joker's Wild was. (with no Newscene update)

Mercifully, they then cut the whole thing off.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, October 27th 1980 at 7:30pm.
