WKBD Channel 50 - "Kaiser To Field Notice" (1977)

Here's a neat historical clip, even though it's not from Chicago. It's a public notice on WKBD Channel 50 announcing the sale of the Kaiser Broadcasting station to Field Communications.

Kaiser Broadcasting Company and Field Communications Corporation, filed with the Federal Communications Commission on March 16th 1977, an application seeking approval of the assignment of the license of WKBD-TV Channel 50 Detroit from Kaiser Broadcasting Company to Field Communications Corporation.

They then give a list of the officers, directors and 10% or greater shareholders of both companies including such notables as Edgar F. Kaiser, Marshall Field and Field Enterprises Incorporated.

A copy of the application, any amendments and related materials are on file for public inspection at WKBD-TV - 26955 West 11 Mile Road - Southfield, MI 48034.

Includes a lot of nice shots of the antennas and buildings of WKBD.

This aired on local Detroit TV on Thursday, March 31st 1977. (not Chicago TV, but still cool!)

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:

The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. 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:
