WFLD Channel 32 - Lunchtime Fun - "The Monkees" (Ending, 1982)

Views: 946

Here's the ending for the Lunchtime Fun presentation of The Monkees on WFLD Channel 32.

No voiceover, but thought I'd include it anyway. There is a snippet of the Lunchtime Fun graphics at the end before the recording cuts out. I think it was rather rare for WFLD to have ending credits without a voiceover, no?

All in all, these were some fairly disappointing commercial breaks. For "Lunchtime Fun", which is supposed to be kids programming,...

Views: 1310

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".

Dion & The Belmonts - "The Dion Years" (Record Offer, 1976)

Views: 816

Here's a record offer from GRT for "The Dion Years" by Dion & The Belmonts, with 22 original recordings of both the group and Dion's early solo hits, all originally released on Laurie Records between 1958 and 1962. The album cover was a mockup of vintage Life magazine covers.

Note, on the mailing address of where to send for this album, a glaring error on the address (the zip code of 06909 would theoretically be within the perimeters of Stamford, CT!).
