WMAQ Channel 5 - Today (Commercial Break & Channel Switching, 1982)

Here is a mostly complete commercial break during an episode of Today on WMAQ Channel 5. Includes:

Small excerpt of Today showing date and time.

Evans Furs - "Dividend Days" (interrupted by Channel Switching)

Channel Switching to WLS Channel 7 (Good Morning America), then Channel 9 (Bozo cartoon), then WTTW Channel 11 (Sesame Street), and then to some scrambled content (likely ON-TV), before going back to the Evans Fur commercial.

Monitor 5 - Weeknights at 10 - promo with Ron Magers, Linda Yu, and Mike Jackson. "News that hits home". (voiceover by ??)

House of Vinyl replacement windows - "House with a Hole In It". (ending voiceover by Ed Grennan)

Today's Q Line - bumper slide (with voiceover by Jim Hill)

Today with Jane Pauley resumes. (Tape edit? Or noisy transition back to network?)

Thanks to W.B., betamax75, and Beatfarmer66 for their help in playing "Name That Fuzz!" :-)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, September 24th 1982 @ 8:22am!
