WMAQ Channel 5 - End of Movie 5, Meditations, Sign-Off & Tricia Kellett 'Missing' Slide (1/24/1988)

Here's the last moments of the broadcast day of WMAQ Channel 5 for January 23rd/24th 1988, picking up the pace after the Movie 5 airing of "The Hairy Ape" [1944] (by this point the only movies WMAQ were running were in the public domain). Includes: Repeat of Movie 5 open (which by now used the theme music and much of the opening title sequence of the NBC Late Night Movie) Station ID / promo for Divorce Court (voiceover by Jim Hill) Meditations (a year later rebranded as "Meditation" - without the 's') - with Rabbi Moses Mescheloff of Congregation K.I.N.S., West Rogers Park (sermon on what we want from life) Station sign-off (voiceover by Jim Hill - same as on later 1989 sign-off at    • WMAQ Channel 5 - PSAs, Meditation, Sign-Of...  ) SSB film used by WMAQ for years, with lyrics shown in lower-thirds below (but would be replaced by next year's sign-off) For last 10 minutes of recording, "Missing" child alert slide - Tricia Kellett - last seen 5/7/82 (begins at 5:26 and lasts until either recording ends or carrier is cut at 15:59) (similar to Joanna Lopez "Missing" slide seen here, except this picture is much better:    • WMAQ Channel 5 - PSAs, Meditation, Sign-Of...  ) This aired on local Chicago TV early Sunday, January 24th 1988. About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television: The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: [email protected] 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 preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to digital, please e-mail [email protected] Thank you for your help!
