Here's Part 2 of an episode of AM Chicago on WLS Channel 7 featuring famed sports reporter and anchor Tim Weigel as host (were they going through a different host each week at this point?).

Tim and Mike discuss ERA protesters, Mike's love of 16-inch so...

Views: 8874

Well, here it is - the opening to The 3:30 Movie on WLS Channel 7!! The movie was "Jason and the Argonauts" - unfortunately the beginning of the film cuts off the last couple seconds of the theme song - which you can hear in the bumpers, which I will post.

Funny, but I've seen these graphics elsewhere - they were also used for the same era's The Late Movie on WLS - except of course for the title change, everything else was the same - same swirling star graphics, ...

Views: 2847

There is also a voiceover at the end which sounds like George Takei - "Snipets are produced by Field Communications". This voiceover was dropped when the "worms" version to...
