WJYS Channel 62 - Home Shopping Club (1993)

Views: 3680

Here's some footage from WJYS Channel 62 and their Home Shopping Club. Would this also be considered a sign-on? Their doesn't seem to be any edits in the video but that's how it looks - with static, and then that Video Magic credit before it smoothly transitions into a promo. Any idea?

If anyone is clamoring for more of this footage I could post a few more parts.

Based on what the lady says in the promo near the beginning, this likely aired on local Chicago TV...

Views: 2708

Here's Part 3 of an episode of The Warren Freiberg Show on WCIU Channel 26. In case you weren't familiar with him, Warren Freiberg had some rather "extreme" and "fringe" opinions. He had a radio show, and you may also remember him turning up in little vignettes on Steve Dahl's "It's Too Early" show from 1983.
