WLS Channel 7 - Eyewitness News Extra - "Goodbye, M*A*S*H" (1983)

Here's a touching Eyewitness News Extra piece on the filming of the final M*A*S*H episode (ironically it was the one that aired the week before the 3 hour finale) - Joel Daly reporting.

By the way, the M*A*S*H finale is still the single highest-rated program in television history. 106 million people in the USA watched the finale that Monday night, with 50.15 million households or 60.2% giving it a Nielsen share of 77%. (This will likely never be topped due to the increasingly fractured television audience today)

(That music during the end of the report is the same jazzy version of the MASH theme that WFLD Channel 32 used for their bumpers when airing the episodes in the very early eighties - who is the artist for this version??)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, February 28th 1983.
