Here's another old local movie show opening - The Nine O'Clock Movie presentation of "Marty" on WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit. (voiceover by ??)

Also includes the animated Kaiser Broadcasting ID and a WKBD bumper slide promo for Liars Club at th...

Views: 1457

Here's a rare glimpse at some early history of WTTW Channel 11 - an installment of their locally produced "Inside Educational Television" program.

It is hosted by WTTW's "Director of Development", Ed Morris - who famously later went on to become the General Manager of WSNS Channel 44!

Joined by Ed is Duane M. Weiss, WTTW's Director of Engineering at the time (who was actually with the station all the way back to before its official inception).

Views: 9863

38 years ago today, this aired!

Here's the ending moments and a full commercial break from the long-running series Garfield Goose And Friends on WGN Channel 9, hosted by Frazier Thomas. This is significant as it is the only known color off-air recorded footage from the show yet found!

This was recorded at Ridgewood High School in Norridge (by whom, has been lost to time but we've narrowed it down to about four adults) on 3/4" U-matic videotape usin...

WFLD Channel 32 - Fernwood 2 Night (Ending #1, 1977)

Views: 1853

Here's a small but juicy rarity - the ending credits for the first airing of Fernwood 2 Night on WFLD Channel 32 - back in the Kaiser Broadcasting era!

You can hear 32's staff announcer tell you that "All That Glitters" (a short-lived Norman Lear series) was next, as well as a tiny snippet of an old WFLD station ID.

I think the announcer may be 32's Bud Kelly - who was the main staff announcer until Ron Beattie took over a year or so later. It certainly doesn't ...

WCIX Channel 6 - Snipets - "The Granola Chef" (1984)

Views: 2594

Here's another (partial) rare Snipets segment! These originally were created by and aired on the Kaiser Broadcasting / Field Communications stations such as WFLD Channel 32, in the 70s and early 80s. However, with the sale and dissolution of Field starting in 1982, for whatever reason Snipets segments popped up on a few other non-Field or former-Field stations, even as late as 1986!
