Here's a station ID slide for WFLD Channel 32. While this is the "new style" Field-era logo set in Eremitage, the color scheme (with the channel and TV picture shape in white and call letters and city in red) is right out of station ID slides from the Kaiser Broadcasting era such as at the start of this clip from 1977.
