Views: 1898

Here is the opening for the NBC Friday Night at the Movies presentation of "Midway". Also includes the EDITED FOR TELEVISION on-screen message at end. (I think the music at the beginning is cut off slightly - every example I find is like this - they cut right from a commercial or ID into the opening and it is always clipped a bit)

Besides anchoring WMAQ's newscasts, Mr. Kalber for years was the anchor of weekday five-minute news updates that aired on the NBC Network at 11:55am CT (12:55pm ET). This in all likelihood was the last regularly-scheduled network program to originate from Chicago.
