Views: 1864

Not from Chicago, but still of historical interest - a promo of Christmas evening's programming lineup on WNGE Channel 2 in Nashville, Tennessee. (The "GE" part of the station's calls was for its then-owner, General Electric; prior to 1973 it had been on Channel 8 under the call letters WSIX, until it swapped frequencies with PBS affiliate WDCN [now WNPT]; since 1983 Channel 2 has been known as WKRN.)

The lineup for this evening is listed as follows:

Kaiser Broadcasting Company (ID #2, 1977)

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.

WLS Channel 7 - Hot Fudge Show (Excerpt, 1980?)

Views: 5727

Here is a small excerpt from the Hot Fudge Show as aired on WLS Channel 7. This is all I found - wish there was more, but at least you get to hear a little of the theme song.

This show aired on WFLD Channel 32, WLS Channel 7, and at one point WSNS Channel 44.

Hot Fudge bumper voiceover by Janice Kos

Not sure when this was recorded exactly; the only clue is the Honeycomb cereal commercial at the end, which is why I placed this at around 1980.

WMET 95 and a Half FM (Commercial, 1981)

Views: 6065

Here's a commercial for WMET 95 and a Half FM - Chicago's Classic Rock.

It says (C)1981 Metromedia Broadcasting - same people that bought WFLD a year or so later?

Funny how even an album like Steely Dan's Gaucho would be considered "Classic" even though it was only released less than a year prior to this commercial airing. Instant classic, I guess.

This commercial aired on local Chicago television on Friday, August 28nd 1981.
