WSNS Channel 44 - Partial Break, Sox Slide & Partial Movie Open (1980?)

Views: 2879

Here's some more cool & rare TV-44 footage! A partial commercial break, going into a Chicago White Sox slide promo, and ending with a partial opening to a WSNS Movie Show - could it be the 1:00 Movie? Because we've see that opening before, but this time it's in color! (too bad it's incomplete) (they may have used this opening for several different movie shows) Includes:

Slide PSA for the Bob Kennedy M...

WFLD Channel 32 - Tic Tac Dough - "Screwy Voiceover" (Bumper Promo, 1980)

Views: 3562

Here's a bumper promo for Tic Tac Dough on WFLD Channel 32. The Jim Barton voiceover started late and so we get to hear more of the background Field Communications music than usual.

They also screwed up because Tic Tac Dough wasn't next, Joker's Wild was. (with no Newscene update)

Mercifully, they then cut the whole thing off.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, October 27th 1980 at 7:30pm.

Way to Go (Part 2a, 1980)

Views: 752

Here is Part 2a of a long-forgotten Field Communications produced program for kids called Way to Go. This episode (which may infact be the first one) is from 1980.

I am pretty sure this was produced at the Field station KBHK-TV Channel 44 in San Francisco.

This program aired on WFLD Channel 32 in Chicago on Sunday mornings at 9:30am in July of 1981 (Thanks, smctopia!) and may have aired at other times too.

WGN Channel 9 - Emergency Broadcast System Test - "Tone Deaf?" (1980)

Views: 6062

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

Here's a test of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) as broadcast on WGN Channel 9.

If the tone sounds off to you, it's because they screwed-up and only used the 853 Hz tone, instead of a combo of 853 and 960 Hz, as required.

Voiceover by Merri Dee.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Thursday, April 10th 1980 during the 12:00pm to 1pm timeframe.

Son of Svengoolie - Assorted Clips Compilation (Part 3)

Views: 1167

Here is Part 3 of a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie clips. I did not make this compilation - it has been floating around the trading circles for a long time, and this is the best copy I've been able to find. It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else.

Featuring:

Another clip-within-a-clip showing a segment from an earlier show - Tombstone's The Amazing No-Skin!

Bat-Sven (incomplete)

"Turkey Roll" song parody ...

WFLD Channel 32 - Oak Park Village Mall (Commercial #2, 1976)

Views: 1698

Here's another short 10 second spot for the Oak Park Village Mall. Remember this? When they blocked off Lake Street and created an outdoor "mall" much in the way they did with State Street?

This was produced at WFLD Channel 32 during the Kaiser Broadcasting Company days, and was directed by Don Shannon. It was recorded on 6-30-76.

"...a beautiful place to shop"

This likely aired on local Chicago TV in July of 1976.
