Featuring announcer Del Clark doing the introduction and beginning the reading of the news, with a story about State Department confirmation of the expulsion of several journalists from Dacca in civil war-torn East Pakistan (the tape cuts off at the point Clark says "East--")

Can anyone help date this more precisely given the little bit of news we hear at...

A side note: The nationally-syndicated Scared Straight! also aired i...

Views: 1801

Here's a promo for Emergency One (original syndicated title for the 1972-77 series Emergency!) on WFLD Channel 32. This promo, with no voiceover, starts off with the station's then-current "Look At Us!" slogan (with Kaiser-era logo) and shows short segments from various Emergency! episodes.

Since this was from a master tape we can only assume that it would have had a voiceover by Ron Beattie and a super of the WFLD logo and show name at the end, when it ac...

The Lost Snipets - "Spinning Tops" (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)

Views: 1316

I had some additional Snipets segments but they were transferred from 16mm film and did not have the opening and closing on them. So, I did a little editing job and added them in. This was an early one, notice it's only 30 seconds long as opposed to the usual 1 minute length that most were in later years. I found something cool to add to this - the circa 1975 title for Snipets, during the Kaiser Broadcasting era! Notice it is a little different from the Field era one that took over...
