WGN Channel 9 - Creature Features - "The Wolf Man" [Closing Re-Creation] (1970-1976)

Views: 5700

Here is a re-creation (not original) of the closing of the legendary Creature Features program on WGN Channel 9. Normally I don't approve of re-creations, but since this is such an important piece of Chicago TV history, and since such scant authentic material exists for this program (only off-air audio recordings and a "gag" type promo that was made for an old WGN Sales Department presentation) - I figured this was worth an exception.

It's a shame that no authentic off-...

Views: 4872

Here's some footage from WCFC-TV Channel 38 - our religious station in Chicago. Features Sharleatha Collins introducing the movie "Mad" during the program "Liberty Temple Full Gospel News". This feels like something that should be part of the Found Footage Festival.

WIIC Channel 11 - 6:30 News Roundup With Len Johnson (1962)

Views: 8034

Exactly 56 years ago today (at 6:30 PM)!

Here's an incredible find - usually anything this old, if I am lucky to find it, is on a 16mm kinescope (remember, in 1962 Quad tape itself was only 6 years old). And even though it's from a Pittsburgh station, it has a very strong Chicago connection, as it is anchored by Len Johnson, whose voice (if not face) will no doubt be very recognizable to people who watched WGN in the 60s, 70s, and very early 80s. He was one of the ub...

WFLD Channel 32 - Movie For A Saturday Afternoon - "The Kettles On Old McDonald's Farm" (Ending, 1980)

Views: 1114

Here's something pretty rare - some footage from WFLD Channel 32's Movie for a Saturday Afternoon featuring the Kaiser-era 32 logo, so this must have dated to at least early 1977 (Previous to this we only had a tiny excerpt of this bumper). Most of it was taped over unfortunately, but this is what remains. This last segment, with complete commercial break and ending sequence, includes:
