WFLD Channel 32 - Oak Park Village Mall (Commercial #1, 1976)

Views: 2287

Here's a short 10 second spot for the Oak Park Village Mall. Remember this? When they blocked off Lake Street and created an outdoor "mall" much in the way they did with State Street?

This was produced at WFLD Channel 32 during the Kaiser Broadcasting Company days, and was directed by Don Shannon. It was recorded on 6-30-76.

"...a beautiful place to shop"

This likely aired on local Chicago TV in July of 1976.

Can anyone with access to the old TV guides find a listing for The Jack Benny Show on WFLD? Also, refresh my memory - when was Kaiser Broadcasting in control of WFLD? I know it ended in September of 1977, but not when they be...

WSNS Channel 44 - "The Mike Douglas Show" (Bumper Promo, 1977)

Views: 1037

Here's a quick bumper promo for The Mike Douglas Show airing on WSNS Channel 44 weekdays at 5pm starting Monday, April 18th 1977.

(I was able to date these clips exactly because it was recorded on the tape after the Superman episode that aired from April 10th to the 15th, and because this episode was preceeded by Spider-Man, so it must have aired on a Sunday but before the 18th)

Voiceover by Linda Frost.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Sun...

KOCO Channel 5 - Lunch With Ho Ho (Promo #2, 1965)

Views: 2315

Here is a promo for "Lunch With Ho-Ho" on KOCO-TV Channel 5 in Oklahoma City. This was a children's program featuring HoHo the Clown (played by Ed Birchall) and Pokey the Puppet (played by Bill Howard, the station's long-time stage manager wearing a sock-puppet on his arm).

We can probably assume that this was recorded at the same session as the first promo, i.e., on Wednesday, August 11th 1965. The Director was "Thrash" with Camera by "Rose and Waters".

This l...

Views: 2332

Here is break #1 of WFLD Channel 32's Son of Svengoolie show #172.

Includes the sketch, "Bert Im-Ho-Tep". (Which I believe was a repeat of a sketch from an earlier show). Parody of Bert Weinman Ford at 3535 North Ashland Avenue with Linn Burton as spokesman.

Not sure of the year exactly - early eighties.

Starring Rich Koz as Son of Svengoolie and Bert Im-Ho-Tep.

WKBD Channel 50 - Star Trek (Bumper #1, 1977)

Views: 2491

Here's a neat early bumper for Star Trek on one of WFLD's sister stations - WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit. They didn't have any voiceovers or music - none of the others during the episode had them either. Star Trek fans were all business. ;-)

Since this aired so early in the year, I'm pretty sure this bumper design was also used in 1976 and maybe since the beginning of WKBD's airing of Star Trek re-runs? In other words, this is likely the very first bumper design in a long his...
