WBBM takes a look at its historic old studios, the site of -- among other things -- the 1960 Nixon-Kennedy debate. (The clip itself is from 2008, but I've posted it here because most of the footage shown in the report is pre-2000):

WLS's legendary "Just Themselves" promo from the early 1970s: Who were the anchors parodied in this promo? My guesses: 1.) A generic late '20s / early '30s radio announcer 2.) Walter Winchell 3.)

The video quality is horrible (my only VCR is in Europe), but Arizona TV fans may be interested in this 1996 report about KTVK's move to its new facility on 7th Avenue, which the station now shares with KPHO:
