This is an excellent news promo. Too bad they don't make them like these today!

[TVAMFM]

This is timeless! One of the best news promos of all time!! Thank you so much for the clean copy!

I never watched Channel 2 news, but I LOVE this song and commercial! Could you please send this to fuzzymemories? He has a whole site with stuff like this!

[EricandDish]

Kind of a conscience the phrase came in the same year Carly Simon had a hit from the James Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me."

[dccoulthard]

Ah, brings back the memories.

Wow, this is phenomenal. I remember WBBM from when I was a kid. In fact, had many opportunities to sit in that newsroom in those days during shows. Love the two-inch quad VTR shot. Some of that stuff was still in use until they moved to 22 W. Washington in 2008! A few bits and pieces I'm sure ended up in the care of the Museum of Broadcast Communications, too.

@ortonWWEchamp Gene was the movie man in Chicago before anybody. He was the one you relied on for whats good or bad at the movies

[MrKrime]

@StukInBuf that was John Drummond if I'm not mistaken

[ctmajka]

Now he's back @ Channel 2

It was great to be a journalist back in the day. Sometimes, I even miss typewriters.

You know what I'd like to see on YT? Back in '74, WBBM TV had station IDs they'd show on certain holidays. I definitely remember the Memorial Day, Easter & Passover ones.

It's a shame how far it seems every station in the country has fallen from its respective glory days. I might sound like an idealist, but it would be beautiful if every station in the country to re-adopt the journalistic philosophy which is implied in this promotion; I sure as hell don't see any reporting from crime scenes, fires, or car accidents in here.
