If you had a team like that on the air now doing the same things D and D did, you'd have a number one radio station in Chicago. Neil Rogers was one of the best live hosts on the radio in Miami when I lived there. He'd constantly degrade the station, stupid jingles, insult management and so on. He kept AM Radio in Miami going wherever he'd work. RIP Neil Rogers. Today however radio wouldn't take the risk of programming a radio station with content that people, love it or hate it, would LISTEN TO. No wonder radio (both AM and FM) is going down the tubes so to speak.

So that's how they forecast the weather when i was a rugrat in '66. 👶

Wait a minute? That’s not 1960s it’s 1992!

Very interesting and that just reminded me of several people from back then. I was wondering about Tony Carr. Is he still living?

That's not the only thing that happened on 3/12/76. That afternoon, a tornado ripped through Franklin Park and other nearby suburbs south of O'Hare. I was working for Midway Mfg. Co., just west of Grand and Mannheim, at the time, and my apartment building was a couple blocks to the NW. One man was killed at Midway when the back wall collapsed on him, but my apt building was spared, other than the corner of the roof over one unit. Nobody hurt in the apt building, but we had to evacuate until Sunday night as other buildings were damaged.

Maybe this tape exists because it was WHBF's first live locally produced newscast in color or locally produced live program in color.

WOW how technology has changed. Back then tv and radio stations had someone read the weather forecast. The maps and graphics wear all hand drawn. Then, sometime in the 70's stations started getting the idea to start hiring actual weather forecasters along with using up to date technology. What a difference comparing then to now.

Nicely sensitive sound. We can hear the movement of his clothes and the paper and his finger against the screen.

What a pleasant delivery!

What a pleasant delivery!

What format was this captured on?

Unfortunately with Corporate take over of broadcast Radio there will Never be Radio Stations like WCF.L WCBS, or WLS, the days of "Rock 'N' Roll" are Dead and gone on the AM Radio

I remember Diane Root. Well I vaguely remember her, considering I was like 5 years old. She had a show and I apparently was one of the kids in her group. I wish I knew the whole story. I had a picture of me sitting with a few kids gathering around her. Lady Diane I remember for some reason. Again I WISH I knew more. Or remembered more.

Reminds me of my time in TV news in the mid-70's in central Illinois. Surprised to hear the floor director snap their fingers as usually that was normally used by the director in the booth, but the talent was looking at the camera so I guess they had to improvise.

Outstanding kliediscope

Back then you were fond bitch. Just say it like that

Allison it is time for the next step of operation in San tan valley

Radar in 1966? Impressive.

What? Wish I hadn’t have clicked on this

What does it mean?

It’s so surreal to hear sound or picture this clear on tv in 1966.

Jack Baker had to be the worst sports talk host ever. The guy new next to nothing about sports.

The temperature roundup was obviously hand drawn on a moveable panel but the forecast maps after the break, appeared to have some sort of wipe transition. Fascinating.

The days of wax pencils

LOL HAHAHAHAH This is Hilarious!!!

I grew up as a kid in the 1970s, and as tv was the main form of family leisure back then, I wasn't familiar with radio personalities. I recognize only 8: Gus Gnorski, John McCullough, Carl Zimmerman, Tom Hooper, Earl Gillespie, John Drilling, Howard Gernette, and of course Albert the Alleycat.

I have an idea, why not Disney take the ESPN 1000 Format put it on FM somewhere, hidden on some HD Channel. The Voice of Labor Returns WCFL. Super CFL, bring back the famous Super CFL Jingle. Doug Dahlgren would go back to morning drive, but will Doug Dahlgren share it with a new partner? Knowing the industry today, the opposite would happen. Streaming is the future.

0:08 Fritz looks suspiciously like Uncle Hugo, the guy who was in nirvana every time he ate a potato chip wrapped in "aluminuminum."

Off-topic, but what channel was WOC-TV on?

Here's what Doug Dahlgren looked like ten years later in 1976: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX7HeJeDfLmVlaM. Chicago radio nerds remember when he teamed with Dick Sainte on WCFL-AM 1000 during the mid-1970s before the station transitioned from Top-40 to beautiful music. chicagoradiospotlight.blogspot.com/2012/03/doug-dahlgren.html

I had the biggest crush on Barbara Becker as a kid

This gentleman needs a tailored jacket. He's swimming in the one he's wearing.

What television station is this what and the country and state, city too.

Love the old NewsBroadcasters in Milwaukee !

Sort of cute weather forecaster.

(Gotta be a "boss-radio" AM jock! Nice!)

“The forecast is that my coat will continue to be two sizes too large through the rest of the week.”

“A couple UFO’s out there”

Ottumwa Iowa. Wasn't that Radar O'Reilly's hometown? He's got enough Vitalis on his hair to change the oil in his car.

Smooth!

Sensational!!!

Wow, Doug Dahlgren from the "Dick n' Doug Show" on WCFL-AM Chicago. He teamed with Dick Sainte on the morning show in the mid-70s.

Was Doug Dahlgren the actor in the Topol Tooth Polish ads back in the early 80's?
