WCIU Channel 26 - Outdoor Sportsman - "Guest Kid" (Ending, 1979)

Views: 1946

Here's a clip of the ending of Outdoor Sportsman on WCIU Channel 26. Joe Wyer had as a guest some kid that wrote into the show - can't quite make out his name - did he say Red? Brad? Rhett? Wouldn't that be neat if he found this clip here after 30 years?

Anyone know what the ending music is?

Outdoor Sportsman was on Saturdays at 5:30pm, right before Eddie Korosa's Polka Party. (in the early-to-mid 70's Outdoor Sportsman aired on WSNS Channel 44)

Eddie Schwartz Interviews Jerry G. Bishop & Rich Koz (Part 1, 1982)

Views: 2825

Here's something pretty rare - you get your Jerry G. and Koz fix all in one. (Not to mention a tribute to recently passed "Chicago Ed" Eddie Schwartz). This is Part 1 of a radio interview Eddie did with Jerry G. Bishop (in studio) where they call up Rich Koz at home.

Sorry for the variable and at times muffled audio quality - I did not mix this or attempt to fix it up much. If any audio wizards out there would like to normalize it all to one standard volume and try to run a ...

Views: 5754

Here's a neat demo reel with a lot of vintage clips from Dolphin Productions, a legendary New York-based production company of the 1970's and early '80's that was one of three such firms in the country to use an early, analogue-based video animation system called "Scanimate." (The others were Image West Ltd. of Hollywood, CA and the company that first invented this process, Computer Image Corp. of Denver, CO; a history of the technology can be seen on

The Reluctant Robot (Part 1, 1980)

Views: 1318

Here is Part 1 from another all but forgotten Field Communications special production - The Reluctant Robot. It was produced to get kids interested in Astronomical Science; pulsars, planets, space travel, etc. You can definitely see the influence from Star Wars a couple years earlier. The budget must not have been too great because the whole thing comes off as feeling like an episode of Dr. Who. (not that there's anything *wrong* with that) ;-)

Once again, I am pretty sure...

WGN Channel 9 - Len Johnson and the News (Part 1, 1965)

Views: 6798

Here's Part 1 of an incredibly rare find - an edition of Len Johnson and the News on WGN Channel 9 from 1965! This was a forerunner to their overnight Night Beat newscast that ran from the late-sixties well into the 1980s.

You'll notice that this was during that awkward transition phase from black-and-white to color with most of the broadcast appearing in black-and-white, but then interspersed by random color commercials and a few color slides.
