WREX Channel 13 - "The Circus" (Take 2, 1969)
Views: 2146
Here's another take of an (evidently lipsynced) performance from a band called "The Circus" - recorded at WREX Channel 13 in Rockford, IL. (Not sure if this ever ran on or was intended to run on WCIU Channel 26 or not.)
This came from the other Quad tape that I found in Jack Mulqueen's basement recently. (Recorded in low band, according to the slate at the opening of this clip - as accompanied by an 800 Hz tone).
I was hoping this tape might have contained an...

"In Chicago, there's a TV station. A PBS educational station. We're WYCC - TV-20! We're not the biggest station it's true, so quality will just have to do. Chicago knows we're good, we're the li...

Ok, it's not THAT Channel 9, but thought it looked cool anyway - these people must have had an early cable system here that picked this up. It's an animated station ID for WOR Channel 9 in New York.

WBMX "Progressive" FM 103 (Commercial, 1980)
Views: 4616
Here's a saucy commercial for WBMX - "Progressive" FM 103.

Contains some quick clips of the Chicago White Sox.

WVTV Channel 18 [Milwaukee, WI] - "Partial EBS Test" (1980)
Views: 2862
Here's a partial test of the Emergency Broadcasting System on an unknown station in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. The person was recording some Woody Woodpecker cartoons and although they cut out the commercials they did decide to record most of the EBS test. It's pretty simple, consisting only of a single, rather discolored slide.
Did they have to traumatize kids by airing these tests during cartoons? It seems like they did the same thing in Chicago too from what I recall....
