One of the all-time great station campaigns, WJZ's "Pictures In The Skies". A campaign that, hilariously, Al Sanders did not like. "What does that mean?!", he would exclaim. That tidbit just adds to the campaign's charm, IMHO

 

And I might as well shoehorn this in too, a version of "Pictures" with the incomparable Ernie Anderson.

This was posted here many years ago, but since we're on the subject of Ron Magers' early Chicago career, it's perhaps worth revisiting...

 

KTCA, the PBS station in the Twin Cities, aired a long, thoughtful report about Magers several months after he had moved from KSTP to WMAQ:

 

 

 

Here's another report about a high-profile Twin-Cities-to-Chicago move, this time meteorologist Paul Douglas' high-profile switch from KARE to WBBM. Unlike Magers, Douglas did not settle in Chicago. He joined WCCO three years later.

Portion of a KUTV 1977 News Open (with Al Ham's On Top of It All... and you can see where Peru's Pantel got their influence from)

 

It's worth nothing that there are several full KUTV newscasts from the late-70's available from the University of Utah archives, though you'd have to be on campus or request these tapes.
