WLS Channel 7 - AM Chicago - "Hoffman & Ski Show" (Part 4, 1978)

Here's Part 4 of an (incomplete) episode of AM Chicago on WLS Channel 7. Includes:

Co-host Robb Weller at Ski Show '78 at McCormick Place West at Donnelley Hall. First he speaks with professional chimp Deena (5 years old) and her trainer Mike Stower (she will be showing off her skiing skills at the show), then interviews Nordic ski champ Sven Wiik (who was also coach of the ski team at the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympics, which Weller misdates as 1970) for a bit; before going to a commercial, Mr. Wiik shows his skiing skills.

Bumper: "AM Chicago Continues - Live from the Ski Show"

Commercial: Weight Watchers Frozen Italian Pies - for people who love the company's cannelloni florentine, ziti macaroni and lasagna (background music: a mandolin rendition of "O Sole Mio")

Political ad from Alex Seith for U.S. Senate - standing outside the grade school in Aurora where he went as a child, and standing against federal control of schools (and Charles Percy's plans to increase federal aid to schools) - Paid for by Seith for Senate Committee

This aired on local Chicago TV on Thursday, October 19th 1978.
