WSNS Channel 44 - News with Nancy Becker (Complete Broadcast, 3/14/1971) 📺
на канале: The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (www.FuzzyMemories.TV)
Here, transferred from a 2" Quad tape, is a very rare early example of WSNS Channel 44 in action, a complete broadcast (more or less) of a sort of televised version of "rip and read" all-news radio, featuring a young Nancy Becker (years before she became a reporter and weekend anchor at WLS Channel 7).
Includes:
Slate indicating Take 1-∞, director as "Dickinson," (John Dickinson, who also appeared on camera as the "host" of TV-44's Monster Rally Movie) cameraman as "Flawn" (Flawn Williams) and producer as "D. Harris" (not sure why an aircheck would get a slate...)
Early 44 logo slide with the bow-tie wearing mascot ("Mr. Essaness"?) atop first '4'
Another 44 logo slide (with voiceover promo for time change for The Divorce Dilemma with Mary Jane O'Dell, by Mal Wyman)
Nancy gives an intro and time check, then the news:

Incomplete commercial for Wing Hoe Cantonese Food (voiceover by Mal Wyman; three-quarters of the way through when recording ends)
[not sure what happened here exactly - the recording appears to have been briefly stopped after Nancy finishes her news - I edited out some extraneous black space - then going into the Panasonic commercial before that cuts off and the Rainbow Rug Cleaners ad comes on already underway. Could the last two ads have been from a different recording and not actually part of this broadcast? Who knows?]
This aired on local Chicago TV on Sunday, March 14th 1971 during the 12:30pm to 12:43pm timeframe. (more confusion - the TV schedules show "Instant News" airing at this time - not News with Nancy Becker (that was at 9am and 11am) so, who knows?)
