Here's a promo for WFLD Channel 32's "Video Voyage" contest, in which winners could win a trip to Hawaii or a "home video tape recorder" (that's VCR to the rest of us), during which the viewer on the screen gets repeatedly hit on the head by a coconut.

WFLD Channel 32 - Movie For A Saturday Afternoon - "The Kettles On Old McDonald's Farm" (Break #2, 1980)

Views: 835

Here's something pretty rare - some footage from WFLD Channel 32's Movie for a Saturday Afternoon featuring the Kaiser-era 32 logo, so this must have dated to at least early 1977 (previous to this we only had a tiny excerpt of this bumper). Most of it was taped over unfortunately, but this is what remains. This second segment, with ID and complete commercial break, includes:

Views: 1158

Here's a segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop.

This is the closing segment from what we assume is still "Show #5". Here Sven sings a parody of "When Your Smiling" and does one of his bedtime stories (poem) with the intro, "Brush your fangs, comb your face, drink your milk before it clots, and bite momma good night..." (a bit which was used again by Rich Koz on S...

Here's a curious early commercial for "The Loop", WLUP FM 98 (97.9) featuring DJ Tom O'Toole. (still a jock at 94.7 WLS FM!)

Historical background courtesy ChicagolandRadioAndMedia.com - "O'Toole was the station's first-ever morning show host and first host heard on-air for the iconic rock station.

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Generic Film Intro #32" (1971)

Views: 1892

Here's a segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop.

As it states this is a "generic" film intro (#32), with Sven goofing around with some video effects. In the early days of the show, SYT consisted mainly of voiceover announcements for the movie, which was eventually expanded into full appearances by Svengoolie. Though it's from after that era, this clip gives you a...
