Views: 1494

Here is a (mostly complete) Illinois Lottery Drawing from October 25th, 1984. (PM Magazine immediately followed)

The announcer during the lottery drawing is Jim Barton.

There's that background music. You can also hear it in a 1984 Lincoln Tech commercial and a 1986 WFLD Lottery Drawing that I posted earlier. It's called "Power Generator" and is part of the Network Production Library of music. You can find it on an album of theirs called "Corporate Class".

Kaiser Broadcasting Company (ID #1, 1977)

Views: 7147

Here it is at long last! A complete Kaiser Broadcasting ID! I wish I could say this was from a Chicago recording, but it actually comes from a tape made off of one of WFLD's sister stations - WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit.

As you can hear at the end of this clip (in an extremely brief snippet) - the same music was used in the WFLD one, so it's very likely that they were identical (except perhaps for the ...

WFLD Channel 32 - Six O'Clock Movie - "The FBI Story" (Technical Difficulties, 1981)

Views: 3191

Here's a technical difficulties moment during the WFLD Channel 32 Six O'Clock Movie presentation of "The FBI Story" - featuring a strange slide.

Perhaps Telefrank can tell us what's going on here? Why is the slide so dark and mysterious looking? Why/when would this ever be used?

Who knows how long this technical difficulties moment lasted? Unfortunately someone was impatient and paused the recording and restarted it when the film was fixed. :-)

WFLD Channel 32 - Oak Park Village Mall (Commercial #1, 1976)

Views: 2433

Here's a 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.
