WTTW Channel 11 - Sneak Previews (Opening, 1982)

Views: 1344

Here is a vintage clip from WTTW Channel 11 in Chicago showing the opening to Sneak Previews with Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel.

Note the announcer at the beginning of the clip - Don Ferris - this is the same person doing some of the voice over work for WSNS Channel 44 at around the same time.

Also note the old WTTW 11 ID bumper - I forgot that they didn't have any music or "frame" effect on these back then.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday...

We also get to see (most of) another one of those great, spooky TV-44
