I grew up watching channel 3, with the big W in the corner when there was bad weather...

More Real People I believe was 30 minute truncated episodes of hour long NBC Real People episodes.

Will you be able to find a complete "Great Moments for You on Channel 3" promo?

Very cool archive Aircheck from Central Illinois legendary VHF station.

I noticed the mention of the "Star Trek" episodes being 16mm - I was curious if anyone knew which film chain camera setup WCIA used in those years - RCA (TK-27 or 28) or GE (PE-24/240)? My understanding is that this had as much a bearing on the way the picture looked as the film quality.

The WCIA announcer really sounds like that announcer from KIRO, but it's not.
