WBBM Channel 2 - Channel 2 News At Five - "Trib Buys Cubs" (Opening, 1981)

Here is the opening (mostly complete) for the Channel 2 News At Five on WBBM Channel 2. The lead story at that hour was the selling by the Wrigley family of the Chicago Cubs to the Tribune Company. Also includes stories on Chicago Public Schools, a Ronald Reagan press conference, and the condition of James Brady.

Finally we see a snippet of an old Earl Scheib commercial before the tape cuts off. :-)

Featuring Walter Jacobson, Johnny Morris, William Wrigley Jr., Dick Dozier, Larry Greybill, and John Cox

This aired on local Chicago TV in May 1981. (anyone know the exact date?)
