Mr. Steak (Commercial #2, 1975)

Views: 4092

Here's another, shorter commercial for a long-gone restaurant that had locations in the Chicagoland area - Mister Steak. (no, not Mr. Beef!)

The production slate at the beginning shows that this was produced at WFLD Channel 32, and we see the Kaiser Broadcasting Company logo as well. This was number 7573 (I wonder what the significance of these numbers were exactly?) and was directed by Don Shannon. Record date was 6-27-75.

Looks like the sign says "America's ...

Views: 3164

Ok, it's not THAT Channel 9, but thought it looked cool anyway - these people must have had an early cable system here that picked this up. It's an animated station ID for WOR Channel 9 in New York.

This aired on Chicago TV (via Cable) likely in October of 1979.

WFLD Channel 32 - All in the Family (Bumpers, 1981)

Views: 1409

Here are two more examples of the old WFLD Field-style Zoomin' bumpers that I edited together - this time for All in the Family on WFLD Channel 32, both of which have a snippet of the closing theme "Remembering You" (written by series star Carroll O'Connor and Roger Kellaway). The first bumper has a still of Archie (O'Connor) and Edith (Jean Stapleton), and the second has a still of Archie and Edith with Mike (Rob Reiner) and Gloria (Sally Struthers); both stills date to the mid-1970'...

WFLD Channel 32 - "New Style in Two Colors" (Station ID, 1979)

Views: 2315

Here's a station ID slide for WFLD Channel 32. While this is the "new style" Field-era logo set in Eremitage, the color scheme (with the channel and TV picture shape in white and call letters and city in red) is right out of station ID slides from the Kaiser Broadcasting era such as at the start of this clip from 1977.

Here's an interesting station ID slide for WGN Channel 9 - a very old style of their logo that dates back to pre-1977. Kind of strange they were using this in late 1981.
