Views: 905

Here is something extremely rare - some bumpers and on-screen station ID's during the "Star Spangled Movie" presentation of the W.C. Fields film "You're Telling Me!" on WSNS Channel 44.

It's too bad this person didn't go to the kitchen to make a sandwich - it would have been nice to have a complete bumper or commercial break.

No music on this bumper unlike the others.

Not sure when this aired exactly, but based on the on-screen station ID, this i...

Views: 3359

Here's the opening of the Doctor Who installment, "The Leisure Hive" on WTTW Channel 11, which also includes a technical difficulties moment.

Manning the mic this evening was Ms. Joan Kohn, who barrels through her voiceover like someone who is perhaps not as big a fan of Doctor Who as Marty Robinson. Rumor has it that she was half way out to her car in the parking lot before they told her she had to come back and announce a technical difficulties moment.
