Kaiser Broadcasting Company (ID #2, 1977)

Views: 5061

Here's a different Kaiser Broadcasting ID than the one we just saw - this one is a few months older and by this time they had upgraded to an animated one. Same music and voiceover though.

We can probably assume that the exact same ID would air on WFLD during this period.

WWJ Channel 4 - "Partial Station Sign-Off" (1978)

Views: 8013

At the end of a tape, after a recording of a movie ended, there was a bit of a previous recording that was taped over. We see most of the National Anthem, then some strange black and white bars, and then static. In the static you can hear bleeding through what perhaps was on another channel at the same time (during the static the tape kept speeding up which is why the audio races at times)

RetroNewfoundland (Vintage Canada) was enterprising enough to slow down the audio heard a...

Here is an onscreen Station ID during The Best of Groucho - You Bet Your Life on WFLD Channel 32.

This aired on local Chicago TV likely in the first couple months of 1975, based on the record date for the Walt Bodkin TV Starter Kit ad.

This aired on local Detroit TV on Thursday, April 7th 1977 (not Chicago TV, but still cool!)

Here it is at long last! A complete Kaiser Broadcasting ID! I wish I could say this was from a Chicago recording, but it actually comes from a tape made off of one of WFLD's sister stations - WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit.

As you can hear at the end of this clip (in an extremely brief snippet) - the same music was used in the WFLD one, so it's very likely that they were identical (except perhaps for the ...

Here's a more complete sign-off sequence from WBBM Channel 2 (as compared with this circa 1978 sign-off). Includes:

Station ID / promo for The Rockford Files for 4:00pm (voiceover by ??)

Television Code "Seal of Good Practice" notice (the same 1965 design variant as on this 1979 sign-on), followed by approximatel...

WKBD Channel 50 - "Kaiser To Field Notice" (1977)

Views: 5477

Here's a neat historical clip, even though it's not from Chicago. It's a public notice on WKBD Channel 50 announcing the sale of the Kaiser Broadcasting station to Field Communications.

Kaiser Broadcasting Company and Field Communications Corporation, filed with the Federal Communications Commission on March 16th 1977, an application seeking approval of the assignment of the license of WKBD-TV Channel 50 Detroit from Kaiser Broadcasting Company to Field Communications Corpo...
