WFLD
WFLD, virtual channel 32 (UHF digital channel 31), is a Fox owned-and-operated television station located in Chicago, Illinois, United States. The station is owned by the Fox Television Stations division of 21st Century Fox, and operates as part of a television duopoly with Gary, Indiana-licensed MyNetworkTV owned-and-operated station WPWR-TV (channel 50). The two stations share studio and office facilities located at Michigan Plaza on North Michigan Avenue in the Chicago Loop; WFLD's transmitter is based at the Willis Tower on South Wacker Drive in the Loop business district.
History
As an independent station
Field Communications ownership
The station first signed on the air on January 4, 1966, as an independent station. WFLD was founded by a joint venture of the parties that each competed individually for the license and construction permit to operate on UHF channel 32. Field Enterprises – owned by heirs of the Marshall Field's department store chain, and publishers of the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Daily News – was the station's majority partner (with a 50% interest) and was responsible for managing WFLD's day-to-day operations; they were led by veteran broadcasting executive Sterling C. (Red) Quinlan. The station originally operated from studio facilities located within the Marina City complex on State Street. Channel 32 was christened the "Station of Tomorrow" by an April 1966 Sun-Times article because of its innovative technical developments in broadcasting its signal. It also broadcast news programming from the Sun-Times/Daily News newsroom. From the fall of 1967 to summer of 1970, WFLD aired the final hour of CBS' Saturday daytime schedule from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., in lieu of the network's owned-and-operated station WBBM-TV (channel 2).

WFLD Channel 32 - Emergency Weather Alert (1978?)
Here's an emergency weather alert from WFLD Channel 32, advising of "severe snowstorms and travelers advisories." Notice at the end, the Kaiser-era "32" logo, plus the use of various weights of the Avant Garde typeface, that typified the station's "look" within its 1973-77 interregnum under Kaiser Broadcasting ownership, plus the first year or so after Field Communications reasserted control. The music that opened this segment and was heard throughout this alert was the ending section of "Fly Like an Eagle" by The Steve Miller Band (from the 1976 album of the same name, Capitol ST-11497). Voiceover by Ron Beattie. This aired on local Chicago TV likely in early 1978.

The promo was recorded on 8-10-77 - eight days after Channel 32's prior owner, Kaiser Broadcasting, was subsumed by original owner Field Communications. Voiceover by Bud Kelly. (That's not Doug Dahlgren is it?) Remember kids, if you liked Star Wars - you will automatically LOVE Lost in Space and not be disappointed at all. This aired on local Chicago TV some time in August 1977. Visit The Museum of Classic Chicago Television at http://www.FuzzyMemories.TV for more classic TV memories and fun!

Here's a neat promo for Lost in Space on WFLD Channel 32. The opening super is patterned after the first (released) "Star Wars" movie which was referenced in the intro.
We also see the production slate at the beginning showing that this was number 8977 and was directed by Don Shannon. The promo was recorded on 8-10-77 - eight days after Channel 32's prior owner, Kaiser Broadcasting, was subsumed by original owner Field Communications.
Voiceover by Bud Kelly. (That's not Doug Dahlgren is it?)
Remember kids, if you liked Star Wars - you will automatically LOVE Lost in Space and not be disappointed at all.
This aired on local Chicago TV some time in August 1977.

Here's an emergency weather alert from WFLD Channel 32, advising of "severe snowstorms and travelers advisories."
Notice at the end, the Kaiser-era "32" logo, plus the use of various weights of the Avant Garde typeface, that typified the station's "look" within its 1973-77 interregnum under Kaiser Broadcasting ownership, plus the first year or so after Field Communications reasserted control.
The music that opened this segment and was heard throughout this alert was the ending section of "Fly Like an Eagle" by The Steve Miller Band (from the 1976 album of the same name, Capitol ST-11497).
Voiceover by Ron Beattie.
This aired on local Chicago TV likely in early 1978.

Here's a neat promo for Lost in Space on WFLD Channel 32. The opening super is patterned after the first (released) "Star Wars" movie which was referenced in the intro.
We also see the production slate at the beginning showing that this was number 8977 and was directed by Don Shannon. The promo was recorded on 8-10-77 - eight days after Channel 32's prior owner, Kaiser Broadcasting, was subsumed by original owner Field Communications.
Voiceover by Bud Kelly. (That's not Doug Dahlgren is it?)
Remember kids, if you liked Star Wars - you will automatically LOVE Lost in Space and not be disappointed at all.
This aired on local Chicago TV some time in August 1977.

WFLD
WFLD, virtual channel 32 (UHF digital channel 31), is a Fox owned-and-operated television station located in Chicago, Illinois, United States. The station is owned by the Fox Television Stations division of 21st Century Fox, and operates as part of a television duopoly with Gary, Indiana-licensed MyNetworkTV owned-and-operated station WPWR-TV (channel 50). The two stations share studio and office facilities located at Michigan Plaza on North Michigan Avenue in the Chicago Loop; WFLD's transmitter is based at the Willis Tower on South Wacker Drive in the Loop business district.
History
As an independent station
Field Communications ownership
The station first signed on the air on January 4, 1966, as an independent station. WFLD was founded by a joint venture of the parties that each competed individually for the license and construction permit to operate on UHF channel 32. Field Enterprises – owned by heirs of the Marshall Field's department store chain, and publishers of the Chicago Sun-Times and the Chicago Daily News – was the station's majority partner (with a 50% interest) and was responsible for managing WFLD's day-to-day operations; they were led by veteran broadcasting executive Sterling C. (Red) Quinlan. The station originally operated from studio facilities located within the Marina City complex on State Street. Channel 32 was christened the "Station of Tomorrow" by an April 1966 Sun-Times article because of its innovative technical developments in broadcasting its signal. It also broadcast news programming from the Sun-Times/Daily News newsroom. From the fall of 1967 to summer of 1970, WFLD aired the final hour of CBS' Saturday daytime schedule from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m., in lieu of the network's owned-and-operated station WBBM-TV (channel 2).
