WFLD Channel 32 - America 2 Night (Bumper Excerpts #1, 1978)

Views: 1068

The first one, before it gets cut off, features the zooming show name and WFLD logo - an effect they used for many years on a variety of shows.

The second one, sounds like it has a special ID voiceover by Martin Mull made specifically for WFLD - sure sounds like his voice to me, anyway.

Not sure what happened here - if this was a cut made by the person recording it or if it was a WFLD error. I'm thinking the former is more likely, though it's strange that there are no other cuts throughout the rest of the broadcast...
