WTTW Channel 11 - Inside Educational Television (Part 2, 1960)
Views: 862
Here's a rare glimpse at some early history of WTTW Channel 11 - an installment of their locally produced "Inside Educational Television" program.
It is hosted by WTTW's "Director of Development", Ed Morris - who famously later went on to become the General Manager of WSNS Channel 44!
Joined by Ed is Duane M. Weiss, WTTW's Director of Engineering at the time (who was actually with the station all the way back to before its official inception).

WFLD Channel 32 - Fernwood 2 Night (Ending #1, 1977)
Views: 1853
Here's a small but juicy rarity - the ending credits for the first airing of Fernwood 2 Night on WFLD Channel 32 - back in the Kaiser Broadcasting era!
You can hear 32's staff announcer tell you that "All That Glitters" (a short-lived Norman Lear series) was next, as well as a tiny snippet of an old WFLD station ID.
I think the announcer may be 32's Bud Kelly - who was the main staff announcer until Ron Beattie took over a year or so later. It certainly doesn't ...

WCIX Channel 6 - Snipets - "The Granola Chef" (1984)
Views: 2594
Here's another (partial) rare Snipets segment! These originally were created by and aired on the Kaiser Broadcasting / Field Communications stations such as WFLD Channel 32, in the 70s and early 80s. However, with the sale and dissolution of Field starting in 1982, for whatever reason Snipets segments popped up on a few other non-Field or former-Field stations, even as late as 1986!

WMBD Channel 31 - Nightmare Theater - "Werewolf of London" (Opening, 1961)
Views: 1683
Not from Chicago, but close enough for jazz - here's a rarity indeed for this era, the opening for an edition of Nightmare Theater on WMBD Channel 31 in Peoria, IL, hosted by Milton Budd from its 1958 debut into later in the '60's. Here, he is introducing this night's presentation of the 1935 horror film "Werewolf of London."
This was from a 16mm film print saved by a former employee of WMBD-TV.
"Welcome to tonight's meeting of the A.F. of L. (sinister...
WCAU Channel 10 - News 10 (Opening & Partial First Story, 1977)
Views: 3113
Not Chicago, but still interesting: Here's an old opening and partial first story for a local Philadelphia station - WCAU Channel 10 - until the tape runs out. :-( Includes:
Bumper promo for "The Daily Number" (lottery drawing, apparently?)
News 10 opening (with appropriately beepy music) featuring Joan Dinerstein and Ralph Penza giving the headlines of this day - a massive local transit strike is threatened, and an update on the Canary Islands pl...
WFLD Channel 32 - Mission: Impossible - "Break!" (Opening, 1977)
Views: 3106
Here's another cool find - the opening to Mission: Impossible on WFLD Channel 32 from back in the Kaiser Broadcasting days! Includes an almost complete station ID at the beginning (voiceover by Bud Kelly) that features a black and red color scheme - different than the black and blue one we saw on another WFLD Kaiser ID.
The episode on this night was "Break!"
You can hear the ending of the t...
