Tapes Of Wrath (Part 2, 1983)

Views: 2780

**Warning: May be slightly inappropriate for some environments. Contains material which some people may consider unsuitable for younger or more sensitive listeners. Viewer discretion is advised.**

It's not Chicago-related, but it is a pretty funny collection of bloopers and other behind-the-scenes footage from the news that you don't usually get to see. I'm assuming that this was produced by an insider. Includes footage from ABC, CBS, NBC, and others.

WMAQ Channel 5 - NewsCenter5 Special Report - "Winter Of '79" (Part 3, 1979)

Views: 746

Here's Part 3, the last part, of a NewsCenter5 Special Report on WMAQ Channel 5 about the great snowstorm of 1979. Features Chuck Henry, Jim Ruddle, Jim Tilmon, Dick Kay.

This part mostly seems to be a rehash of earlier reports in the broadcast - which perhaps explains why the person recording this decided to cut out early. Unfortunately, we miss the live discussion with Governor Thompson.

Note: The airdate for this is correct. Even though the major snowfal...

WMAQ Channel 5 - NewsCenter5 At 5pm - "The Blizzard of '78" (Part 1, 1978)

Views: 8381

Everyone remembers the great Blizzard of '79 - but how many people remember the Blizzard of 1978? Before the big snow in 1979 hit, this seemed fairly significant I guess, although not as bad as the Big Snow of 1967. Was this just a case of snow-perbole? You decide.

Here is Part 1 of some footage from the NewsCenter5 airing at 5pm on WMAQ Channel 5, with Mike Jackson, Ron Hunter, and Jerry Taft.

This part features a report on commuting by Gene Randall, the weather...

WMAQ Channel 5 - NewsCenter5 At 10pm (Promo, 1977)

Views: 3976

Here is a two-minute, awesomely overdone promo (in that 70s way) for WMAQ Channel 5's NewsCenter5 At 10pm, starting off with a space motif and a laser-style lightning bolt traveling around the world and then back to Chicago ("From the stars to the planets, from Chicago to the ends of the earth" - voiceover by Brad Crandall), to promote "a new age of electronic journalism" (a reference to the adoption of video-based ENG) and the resources of NBC News. Some of the clips (of news events within ...
