Views: 5338

Here's Part 1 of an episode of The Warren Freiberg Show on WCIU Channel 26. In case you weren't familiar with him, Warren Freiberg had some rather "extreme" and "fringe" opinions. He had a radio show, and you may also remember him turning up in little vignettes on Steve Dahl's "It's Too Early" show from 1983.

This part begins with a partial WCIU-TV Station ID (voiceover by Bill O'Connor) followed by the opening credits (anyone know who does the voiceover?)

Here's the ending to Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on WTTW Channel 11. This was Episode 1315 which was originally aired in 1973. (first voiceover during the end credits by Marty Robinson)

I love the ending slide with the trolley and episode number - the music that plays during it just takes me back. I probably hadn't heard it in at least 25 years. :-)

Also includes at the end:

WTTW Promo - Luciano Pavarotti: King of the High C's (ending voice...
