The music sounds vaguely Genesis-like. :-)

WMAQ Channel 5 - "Memory" (1984)

Views: 3622

Here's a video montage (missing beginning part) that WMAQ Channel 5 used as part of their sign-off apparently for a few years. It features the song "Memory" from the musical "Cats", and showcases Chicagoland senior citizens and various aspects in their lives. Kind of a strange thing to show during sign-off. I mean, for what purpose was this made? Other than to make you realize that your life is going by as you watch TV at 3 in the morning before the station signs-off? ;-)

WGN Channel 9 - Saturday Matinee - "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" (Partial Bumper, 1981?)

Views: 5493

Here is a very brief glimpse of a bumper for the WGN Channel 9 Saturday Matinee - at the end of a presentation of "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein".

If you pause the video at the right spot, you can see the yellow Saturday Matinee slide featuring a movie camera. This is the only example of this bumper or opening we have right now.

Not sure of the date, but this probably aired on local Chicago TV in late 1981 (around Halloween?) or perhaps 1982.
