WFLD Channel 32 - Chicago Black Hawks Vs. Boston Bruins (Excerpts, 1976)

Views: 4979

Here are some selected excerpts of the Chicago Black Hawks / Boston Bruins game on WFLD Channel 32, played at Boston Garden in Boston, MA. This was from an original 2" Quad master tape, and though the "recorded date" says 3-31-76, this game was broadcast on 3-25-76. I think someone, perhaps Don Shannon (who directed this telecast) made this compilation of excerpts from the original tape(s) on the 31st (or perhaps it was done live? That wouldn't account for the 3-31-76 date though) In any ...

WFLD Channel 32 - Brady Bunch Hour - "Grapes" (Bumper, 1977?)

Views: 1976

Here's a filmed bumper from WFLD Channel 32 advising that The Brady Bunch Hour will continue, complete with a snippet of the theme music as heard over the closing credits. (This was not a reference to their short-lived 1977 variety hour, but a back-to-back block of episodes from the original 1969-74 series that Channel 32 aired regularly.) The bumper uses a stylized "bunch" of grapes as it's motif.

This features the Kaiser-era "32" logo as used during the period the st...

WREX Channel 13 - "The Circus" (Take 1, 1969)

Views: 3552

Here's a (evidently lipsynced) performance from a band called "The Circus" - recorded at WREX Channel 13 in Rockford, IL. (not sure if this ever ran on or was intended to run on WCIU Channel 26 or not)

This came from the other Quad tape that I found in Jack Mulqueen's basement recently. (recorded in low band, according to the slate at the opening of this clip - as accompanied by an 800 Hz tone).

I was hoping this tape might have contained another episode of...

Views: 711

Here is the sixth in a series of ten, minute-long shorts (or interstitials as they are sometimes known) created by Field Communications for children called Hooray for Reading. These would air during the commercial breaks on kid's shows and cartoons.

These featured kids briefly doing some other activity besides reading (the "hook") and then describing a book they like using a brief dramatization of a part in the story.

This one is based on the book "The TV Kid" by...

WFLD Channel 32 - Son of Svengoolie - "3-D Movie Excerpt & On-Screen ID" (1982)

Views: 1246

Here's an excerpt from the Son of Svengoolie presentation of "Revenge of the Creature" in 3-D. This was show #158. (Also includes a WFLD 32 On-screen station ID)

Some have said that this scene was the most effective at conveying 3D. I'd have to agree - the fish swimming by in particular look like they're in the foreground even without the glasses on. :-)

This aired at around 8pm on Thursday, July 29th 1982.
