Kaiser Broadcasting Company (ID #2, 1977)

Views: 5227

Here's a different Kaiser Broadcasting ID than the one we just saw - this one is a few months older and by this time they had upgraded to an animated one. Same music and voiceover though.

We can probably assume that the exact same ID would air on WFLD during this period.

WWJ Channel 4 - "Partial Station Sign-Off" (1978)

Views: 8174

At the end of a tape, after a recording of a movie ended, there was a bit of a previous recording that was taped over. We see most of the National Anthem, then some strange black and white bars, and then static. In the static you can hear bleeding through what perhaps was on another channel at the same time (during the static the tape kept speeding up which is why the audio races at times)

RetroNewfoundland (Vintage Canada) was enterprising enough to slow down the audio heard a...

Here's a commercial for Schlitz Malt Liquor which takes place at a seance where a man is channeling his "Uncle Harry" and says he wants "something special out of life" - after which a sign saying "Put the Bull Where Your Beer Is" drops onto the table, and then a six-pack of Schlitz Malt Liquor materializes.

Kaiser Broadcasting Company (ID #1, 1977)

Views: 7110

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 ...
