Views: 1130

Here is a commercial in Spanish for a dentist's office - Smile Center - on WCIU Channel 26. Is that the same lady in the Meystel's Warehouse commercial?

Located at 30 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago and 821 Howard Street in Evanston.

Not sure when they used this ID, but 1985 seems a good estimate, based on other material on the tape.

WKBD Channel 50 - Star Trek (Bumper #1, 1977)

Views: 2682

Here's a neat early bumper for Star Trek on one of WFLD's sister stations - WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit. They didn't have any voiceovers or music - none of the others during the episode had them either. Star Trek fans were all business. ;-)

Since this aired so early in the year, I'm pretty sure this bumper design was also used in 1976 and maybe since the beginning of WKBD's airing of Star Trek re-runs? In other words, this is likely the very first bumper design in a long his...

Views: 1519

Finally - some WFLD stuff from the same batch that isn't from March 1971. ;-) Here is an on-screen notice during The Jack Benny Show on WFLD Channel 32 informing you of a "Black & White Telecast".

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.

Not sure when this aired exa...
