Here's the pre-show break and opening few minutes from The Sunday Edition of the Channel 2 News on WBBM Channel 2. Reception was a tad ghosty, but overall not bad.

Coming right after the ending Universal ID from an episode of Delvecchio, this clip starts with a weird buzzing sound, and then:

CBS Network promo for Maude and All's Fair (Main voiceover by ??) (Ending voiceover by Pat Connell)

Preview for Channel 2 News - The Sunday Edition with Harry Porterfield

Commercial: Evans - "Washington's Birthday Fashion Sale"

Commercial: North West Federal Savings - "Fun With Plants Program"

Commercial: McDonald's - "Big Mac Attack" (ending voiceover by ??)

WBBM-TV Channel 2 Chicago Station ID (voiceover by ??)

Opening of Channel 2 News - The Sunday Edition with Harry Porterfield reporting. Stories include:

Wentworth district patrolman Juan Carr arrested for allegedly shooting and killing his estranged wife

Body of checkout clerk - Narcus Alvey - found murdered in a refrigerator at K & G Food Mart on Algonquin Road in Mount Prospect - featuring comments by Sgt. Warren Fischer of the Mt. Prospect Police

Donald Schwartz of River Grove attempts suicide, but is eventually charged with murder of Helen Lipscomb, his girlfriend.

Son of former state legislator, Lewis Capuzey Jr. accused of shooting of Elmwood Park resident Kyle Kruger

State Senator Harold Washington gets support and endorsement from Independent Voters of Illinois (IVI) in the mayor's race, whose primary is on April 19th

Chinatown celebrates beginning of the Year of the Serpent

If anyone has any corrections to names or other elements from the news stories, please post them here. I had to guess on the spelling of most of the names. :-)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Sunday, February 20th 1977 at a few minutes before 10pm.
