WDHO Channel 24 - "Nuclear Destruction: Catch It On WDHO!" (On-Screen ID, 1983)
Views: 6684
Here's something not from Chicago TV but still interesting to show the differences in stations presentations' of The Day After (an ABC Theater telemovie about the effects of a full-scale nuclear attack on the United States).
WLS-TV did not have an on-screen station ID for the entirety of the movie. However, WDHO Channel 24 in Toledo, Ohio apparently thought it was appropriate to put several of their ID's on screen throughout the movie - the most distracting of th...

WMAQ Channel 5 - "Memory" (1984)
Views: 3402
Here's a video montage (missing beginning part) that WMAQ Channel 5 used as part of their sign-off apparently for a few years. It features the song "Memory" from the musical "Cats", and showcases Chicagoland senior citizens and various aspects in their lives. Kind of a strange thing to show during sign-off. I mean, for what purpose was this made? Other than to make you realize that your life is going by as you watch TV at 3 in the morning before the station signs-off? ;-)

Views: 6488
Here's the (mostly complete) opening for the NBC Saturday Night at the Movies presentation of "KISS Meets the Phantom" (A.K.A., "KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park) on WMAQ Channel 5. They even did a WMAQ on-screen station ID during it. (the recording missed about the first half of the NBC opening though)
If only the rest of the movie was as moderately entertaining as the opening credits.
