WFLD Channel 32 - News/Sports Wrap With Chet Coppock (Tiny Excerpt, 1972?)

The transfer of this video clip made possible by your generous donations!

Here's a very small excerpt of the very tail end of a News/Sports Wrap (try one, they're delicious) with Chet Coppock that aired on WFLD Channel 32. At the time, Mr. Coppock was one of the station's staff announcers (as was Del Clark), as well as sportscaster; only in his early 20's at the time, he went on to a long career in sports broadcasting, and is regarded as one of the fathers of sports talk radio.

NOTE: This was probably originally broadcast in color, but captured on this early home videotape recording in black and white. There are some tape-tracking problems that are noticeable at certain points on this clip.

Based on the trajectory of Mr. Coppock's career at the time, plus the continuing use of the late 1960's WFLD logo (preceding the commencement of the station's "Kaiser era"), this most likely aired on local Chicago TV some time in 1972.
