Views: 2108 Finally - some WFLD stuff from the same batch that isn't from March 1971. ;-) Here is Break #1 from The Jack Benny Show on WFLD Channel 32. Includes:
The Honeymooners bumper slide (with colorized line drawing based on famed 1955 photo of three of show's stars inside a GMC "Old Look" bus, and Kaiser-era 32 logo) (NOTE: This same drawing would be used for a later bumper from after Field's own logo style took over, as seen on
Men Who Flirt With Death - Public Service Annoucement from the American Cancer Society
Can anyone with access to the old TV guides find a listing for The Jack Benny Show on WFLD? Also, refresh my memory - when was Kaiser Broadcasting in control of WFLD? I know it ended in September of 1977, but not when they be...
KOCO Channel 5 - Lunch With Ho Ho (Promo #2, 1965)
Views: 2309
Here is a promo for "Lunch With Ho-Ho" on KOCO-TV Channel 5 in Oklahoma City. This was a children's program featuring HoHo the Clown (played by Ed Birchall) and Pokey the Puppet (played by Bill Howard, the station's long-time stage manager wearing a sock-puppet on his arm).
We can probably assume that this was recorded at the same session as the first promo, i.e., on Wednesday, August 11th 1965. The Director was "Thrash" with Camera by "Rose and Waters".

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Larry Lujack" - Svengoolie's Comedy News (Transition, 1973)
Views: 631
Here's another segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop. By this point, if the clapboard is of any indication, the SYT title had been eschewed in favor of Svengoolie.
This segment is from Show #61 (according to the clapboard), with guest Larry "Superjock" Lujack. The recording date was April 11th 1973.
This segment is call...

WKBD Channel 50 - Star Trek (Bumper #1, 1977)
Views: 2480
Here's a neat early bumper for Star Trek on one of WFLD's sister stations - WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit. They didn't have any voiceovers or music - none of the others during the episode had them either. Star Trek fans were all business. ;-)
Since this aired so early in the year, I'm pretty sure this bumper design was also used in 1976 and maybe since the beginning of WKBD's airing of Star Trek re-runs? In other words, this is likely the very first bumper design in a long his...

Finally - some WFLD stuff from the same batch that isn't from March 1971. ;-) Here is an on-screen notice during The Jack Benny Show on WFLD Channel 32 informing you of a "Black & White Telecast".
Can anyone with access to the old TV guides find a listing for The Jack Benny Show on WFLD? Also, refresh my memory - when was Kaiser Broadcasting in control of WFLD? I know it ended in September of 1977, but not when they began exactly.
Not sure when this aired exa...

Here's another Star Trek bumper from one of WFLD's sister-stations - WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit - this one with a different font for the show name than the first one. The others can be seen here (January 1977) and here (June 1977).
This aired on local Detroit TV on Monday, April 25th 1977. (not Chicago, but still cool)
Girls Clubs of America - "Girls Clubs Are Great!" (PSA, 1973)
Views: 1036
Here's a PSA for the Girls Clubs of America, with a female singer/guitarist extolling the virtues of the Girls Clubs, and film footage spotlighting a young gymnast interspersed with clips of one girl looking on as a car engine is being repaired, a stage audition with budding ballerinas, a campfire sing along, and a gathering in a room with a handwritten "DALLAS OR BUST" sign on the wall in one corner.
This was one of many now-iconic PSA's that aired throughout most of the 197...
