WFLD Channel 32 - The Koz Zone - "The Astro-Zombies" - "Beginnings..." (1989)

Views: 904

Here's the first few minutes of the very first Koz Zone episode (before it had a name even) - back when he was really playing up the idea of being a video pirater. The first movie he showed was "The Astro-Zombies" (which he also showed on Son of Svengoolie at one point).

Views: 1492

Here is a bumper for the Jetsons on Super Cartoon Sunrise on WFLD Channel 32. This dates to August of 1984.

Voiceover by Jeff Lupetin - "Now back to the Jetsons..."

The curious thing about this bumper (and others to follow) is the black box that the characters are surrounding. First of all, I have to tell you that this bumper is not from an off-air recording. These bumpers were recorded from a master tape recorded at WFLD long ago. So, my first thought was t...

WFLD Channel 32 - Weather Alert (1978?)

Views: 4863

Here's an emergency weather alert from WFLD Channel 32, advising of "severe snowstorms and travelers advisories."

Notice at the end, the Kaiser-era "32" logo, plus the use of various weights of the Avant Garde typeface, that typified the station's "look" within its 1973-77 interregnum under Kaiser Broadcasting ownership, plus the first year or so after Field Communications reasserted control.

The music that opened this segment and was heard throughout this aler...
