Views: 4552
The transfer of this video clip made possible by your generous donations!
Here's the good news - someone recorded The Ray Rayner Show at various times in the early seventies! Now the bad news - they only recorded the cartoons, and cut out nearly everything else. :-( I bring you the only snippets left - a few excerpts of the clock that they would show the time on, and in some cases, the chalkboard with the date, weather, and sports scores. Some might wonder why...

The transfer of this video clip made possible by your generous donations!
Here's a very brief excerpt of a station ID slide from WBBM Channel 2. The "2" at this point was from the network-mandated "CBS Didot" serif font, unlike sister stations WCBS Channel 2 in New York and then-KNXT Channel 2 (now KCBS) in Los Angeles which then used sans-serif Grotesque No. 9 whose size was the same as the CBS Eye. It should be also noted that another sister station at the time, WCAU...

The guests on this (re-run airing) edition were Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah (bassist Mitch Aliotta, guitarist Skip Haynes and pianist John Jeremiah) and Bill Quateman.
Note: As with other things we've found, this is ...

Views: 5753
Here's a neat demo reel with a lot of vintage clips from Dolphin Productions, a legendary New York-based production company of the 1970's and early '80's that was one of three such firms in the country to use an early, analogue-based video animation system called "Scanimate." (The others were Image West Ltd. of Hollywood, CA and the company that first invented this process, Computer Image Corp. of Denver, CO; a history of the technology can be seen on
