WSNS Channel 44 - "The Mike Douglas Show" (Bumper Promo, 1977)

Views: 1194

Here's a quick bumper promo for The Mike Douglas Show airing on WSNS Channel 44 weekdays at 5pm starting Monday, April 18th 1977.

(I was able to date these clips exactly because it was recorded on the tape after the Superman episode that aired from April 10th to the 15th, and because this episode was preceeded by Spider-Man, so it must have aired on a Sunday but before the 18th)

Can anyone with access to the old TV guides find a listing for The Jack Benny Show on WFLD? Also, refresh my memory - when was Kaiser Broadcasting in control of WFLD? I know it ended in September of 1977, but not when they began exactly.

WCIX Channel 6 - Snipets - "Bad for You" (1984)

Views: 3053

Here's another rare Snipets segment! These originally were created by and aired on the Kaiser Broadcasting / Field Communications stations such as WFLD Channel 32, in the 70s and early 80s. However, with the sale and dissolution of Field starting in 1982, for whatever reason Snipets segments popped up on a few other non-Field or former-Field stations, even as late as 1986!

This particular a...
