Here is Part 2 - the final part, of a WFLD promotional film for (I assume) the sales department, meant to be shown to prospective advertisers on why WFLD was such a kick-arse station to buy time on.

The second part features company man Bill Jackson eliciting the help of his Cartoon Town denizens (such as Dirty Dragon and Weird) to explain the finer points of share, cumes, ratings, coverage, UHF penetration, and other reasons why you should advertise on "WFLD TV 32".

Views: 414

Here is Part 5 of the Field Communications produced Way to Go! Special - an hour long (compilation?) showcase of some special kids and what they do. Has a lot of nice little slices of late seventies life as a kid. :-) The tape was dated May of 1980. My contact says that only a few of these "Specials" were made. Like I said, I'm not sure if these were compilations of segments shown on the regular Way to Go program, or if they were specifically produced for these specials. I am pretty sure thi...
