Here's a special report on WLS Channel 7 interrupting normal programming momentarily - at least they waited until the end of a commercial. :-) Includes:

Ending of a commercial for Long Chevrolet in Elmhurst - champagne party for first Chevrolet of the 1980s (voiceover by ??)

Special Report (voiceover by Mike Rapchak, who identified himself at the end of this report) about a report from Eyewitness News' Hugh Hill about Governor James Thompson's adjournment of a summit meeting with Chicago school board members and representatives of state, city, union and banking officials in Springfield after failure to achieve a bailout plan, as teachers and other Board of Education employees weren't paid for the second Friday in a row

Station ID slide with American Cancer Society PSA (voiceover by Mike Rapchak)
