WSNS Channel 44 - Star Spangled Movie - "You're Telling Me!" (Bumper #3, 197?)

Views: 1025

Here is something extremely rare - some bumpers and on-screen station ID's during the "Star Spangled Movie" presentation of the W.C. Fields film "You're Telling Me!" on WSNS Channel 44.

The music during the bumper segments is interesting - also notice they fade it up slowly a good 5 seconds before the bumper begins, while t...

Views: 6920

Here's an animated, really early Zayre spot, in black-and-white no less.

Views: 8152

Not from Chicago, but still of historical interest: a weird oddity - an excerpt from cable Channel 6 in Nashville, Tennessee (broadcasting in black and white), with what amounts to a primitive version of The Weather Channel, with readings of Wind Direction, Wind Velocity, Barometric Pressure, Temperature, Time, and Current Speed in MPH (just kidding). Plus, it includes a (literal) community bulletin board (including, at one point, a notice for town carolers). All this with a hypnotic, end...
