Here's a remastered version of a promotional sales film put out by Kaiser Broadcasting (owners of Chicago's WFLD Channel 32 from 1973 to 1977) in 1968, dealing with their TV stations across the country prior to their running WFLD; at the time of this film, they owned stations in Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, San Francisco and Los Angeles, each of which is spotlighted here. • Includes: • A look at the TV climate as of 1962, the year President Kennedy signed H.R. 8031, the All-Channel Act, which mandated all TV sets to carry UHF channels - and Kaiser taking advantage of this new law to take its place among the many station group owners. • Shots of Kaiser's corporate headquarters at various times of the day, with a promise to look at the six stations on the air at the time, and a projection of Kaiser stations' reach of the available TV audience between 1964 and 1970. • A look at WKBS Channel 48 in Philadelphia (signed on in September 1965, but sadly left the air for good in August 1983), with samples of their fare - and special emphasis on their Ten O'Clock News, with such future legends of other cities as Jim Vance (later of WRC Channel 4 in Washington, DC), Bob Wallace (later of Chicago's own WBBM Channel 2), Jay Lloyd (who later went to KYW Newsradio 1060) and anchor Doug Johnson (later a fixture for decades on Eyewitness News on WABC Channel 7 in New York). Local shows (including a music show hosted by legendary Philly DJ Hy Lit, a local Romper Room, and Captain Philadelphia ) and syndicated programming are spotlighted. • Next, WKBD Channel 50 in Detroit (signed on January 10th 1965), spotlighting sports coverage, The Lou Gordon Program (with a clip of his infamous interview with Michigan Governor George Romney), syndicated programming, movies, children's programming and - a 10pm newscast. • Afterwards, WKBG Channel 56 in Boston, co-owned by Kaiser and The Boston Globe (became WLVI in 1974 after the Globe sold its half back to Kaiser) - showing their sports coverage, a look at their VTR room (with a bank of RCA TR-70 high-band Quad videotape machines), a local commercial they produced, first-run movies, syndicated programming and news. • Followed by WKBF Channel 61 in Cleveland (signed on in January 1968 but unfortunately left the air in 1975), with newspaper coverage of the station, shots of their studios and transmitter, a clip of a children's show ( Captain Cleveland with John Slowey, and his puppet buddy Clem) with then-Cleveland Mayor Carl Stokes and then-Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, local talk show host Alan Douglas, syndicated shows, movies, and news. • Next is KBHK (now KCBW) Channel 44 in San Francisco (named after Kaiser founder and namesake Henry J. Kaiser), with look at studio and transmitter, company history, local programming including Joe Dolan's weeknight talk show (which followed their 10pm news, and here with Bill Cosby as guest), sports, children's programming, movies (including Charlie Chan Theatre with host Mai Tai, daughter of Charlie Chan), and syndicated shows. • Finally, a brief look at KBSC Channel 52 in Los Angeles (now Spanish-language KVEA, sister station to Chicago's WSNS Channel 44); the station was yet to sign on at the time of this film. • Ending segment, followed by closing credits: • For WKBS TV Philadelphia - Tom Rose, Jack Lease, Hardie Mintzer, George Perkins, Glenn Romsos • For WKBD TV Detroit - Marty Salisbury, Doug Knight, Mike Stebbins, Ken Vailliencourt • For WKBG TV Boston - Ernie Whitmeyer, Gaye Amish, Bill Finlay, Ken Flanagan, Steve Korbet • For WKBF TV Cleveland - Lew Wilson, Bart Baker, Dick Bannon, Bruce Geddes • For KBHK TV San Francisco - Bill Furnell, Creagg Bass, Donald Carlsen, George Dakin, William Johnson, Roy Little • Narrator - Joe Hughes, KFOG • Music - Peter V.

Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 4,700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at: • http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/index.php...
