Here's the sketch "Sell-Out Radio Network" from Son of Sven episode number 188 where he was showing the film "Black Friday".

This was Break 5, Segment 5.

Those aren't 8 tracks, those are cart tapes spinning on Son of Svengoolie's platter. WHAT is actually AM 1340 in Philadelphia. KWIT is actually FM 90.3 in Sioux City. WAXX is 104.5 FM in Eau Claire. KUDD is 107.9 FM in Roy, Utah. Surprisingly, there is no radio station with the call letters KOLD but they are C...

Here's Part 3 of an episode of the Hot Fudge Show - which was produced in Detroit but also aired all over the country, including Chicago on WFLD, WSNS, and WLS, at various times during the 70's and early 80's.

This segment features another sketch with Arte Johnson and the Mitts and the Hot Fudge Newsreel Show featuring a visit to a paper-making plant.

Way to Go (Part 1, 1980)

Views: 534

Here is Part 1 of a long-forgotten Field Communications produced program for kids called Way to Go. This episode (which may infact be the first one) is from 1980. Peter Kastner is the host.

I am pretty sure this was produced at the Field station KBHK-TV Channel 44 in San Francisco.

This program aired on WFLD Channel 32 in Chicago on Sunday mornings at 9:30am in July of 1981 (Thanks, smctopia!) and may have aired at other times too.

Not sure if thi...

WFLD Channel 32 - Emergency One (Promo, 1977-78)

Views: 1856

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...

Views: 3767

Here's a record offer for "18 Golden Hits of 1976" with songs performed by "The Sound Effects" (or "The original Sound Effects" as the announcer helpfully mentions). It's another album of knock-offs (although at least from this ad, not quite as bad as the infamous "Muskrat Love" collection)

"After you forget all about the Bicentennial, this is what you'll remember 1976 for..."
