Views: 2265

Here's a version of "The Choice Is Yours" jingle/slogan and animation as used by WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit, starting off with shots of a sculpture with the General Motors building at Renaissance Center in the background, a local pastry shop, and a young child walking a dog, before that stack turns around to show the Field-era '50' logo.

Animation was done using the analog Scanimate video process.

"In Detroit, the choice is yours on TV-50!"

Rolling Stone...The 10th Anniversary - "A Day In The Decade" (1977)

Views: 7277

Here's something that's pretty awful and bizarre, a segment from the Rolling Stone 10th Anniversary special - a Beatles tribute medley called "A Day in the Decade". It goes on for over 14 minutes, and mercifully perhaps the person recording it decided that was enough. (I think it was almost over anyway)

Local Trivia Note: This special was stereo simulcast (simulcasted?) in the Chicago area on WBBM-FM 96.3.

This aired on local Rockford, IL TV on Friday, November ...

Views: 4639

Here's a terrific piece of local history and the next best thing to a guided tour of WFLD's facilities circa 1970 for you broadcast equipment junkies out there (W.B. I'm looking in your direction...) ;-)

This is Part 1 of a WFLD promotional film for (I assume) the sales department, meant to be shown to prospective advertisers on why WFLD was such a kick-arse station to buy time on. And they do take their time - in the first part showing the aforementioned equipment spread, as...

Not sure of the exact date but I believe this is from the Fall of 1982 - can someone find out the exact date?
