WFLD Channel 32 - Illinois Lottery Drawing (1986)

Views: 2634

Here's another Illinois Lottery drawing on WFLD Channel 32 for all you lottery fans out there. (or is it just one person?) ;-)

That's Dean Richards doing the voiceover (confirmed!)

There's that background music again. You can also hear it in a 1984 Lincoln Tech commercial and in other WFLD Lottery Drawings that I have posted earlier. It's called "Power Generator" and is part of the Network Production Library of music. You can find it on an album of theirs calle...

Toy Gallery (Commercial #2, 1975?)

Views: 792

Here's another almost identical commercial for the Toy Gallery, a local business at 1825 North Lincoln that advertised on WSNS Channel 44's Popeye with Steve Hart.

This ad [which comes after a brief CG slate marked "VTR: 586 - Cut: 2 - Toy Gallery (CM :30) - M.T./D.M." - the M.T. standing for director Mike Torchia; not sure what the D.M. is] has the exact same shots (and music and voice effects) as the other variation, except this has no explanatory voiceover.

Here is a (mostly complete) Illinois Lottery Drawing from October 25th, 1984. (PM Magazine immediately followed)

The announcer during the lottery drawing is Jim Barton.

There's that background music. You can also hear it in a 1984 Lincoln Tech commercial and a 1986 WFLD Lottery Drawing that I posted earlier. It's called "Power Generator" and is part of the Network Production Library of music. You can find it on an album of theirs called "Corporate Class".

WFLD Channel 32 - 10 O'Clock Movie - "My Little Chickadee" (Opening, 1983)

Views: 1814

Here's an oddity - who knew WFLD had a 10pm movie at one point?

Here is the opening of the 10 O'Clock Movie presentation of "My Little Chickadee" [1940] starring Mae West and W.C. Fields, on WFLD Channel 32. (voiceover by Jim Barton)

The graphics are very similar to the type used for the WFLD "Premiere Movie".

Preceded by a WFLD Lincoln's Birthday bumper (voiceover b...

WFLD Channel 32 - Saturday Morning Movie - "Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" (Opening Excerpt, 1980)

Views: 1947

Here is an excerpt from the opening for the Saturday Morning Movie presentation of "Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" on WFLD Channel 32. (Unfortunately, the recording began late and the only copy that exists of it has these VCR graphics over it when a copy was made - the original was apparently destroyed)

Also features a Berens Lincoln-Mercury and Award Lumber & Construction Company sponsorship (without voiceover, which must have been a glitch)

Voiceover excerpt by Ji...

Here is an (incomplete) PM Magazine Promo & Illinois Lottery Drawing from January 25th, 1986. This was shown during WFLD Channel 32's Son of Svengoolie presenting the movie "Supersonic Man". This was his last show, #334. :-(

The announcer during the lottery drawing is none other than WGN's own Dean Richards.

There's that background music during the lottery drawing. You can also hear it in a 1984 Lincoln Tech commercial and a 1984 WFLD Lottery Drawing that I poste...
