You'll never find another voice so fine as that of fellow Chicagoan Lou Rawls. He was a perfect fit for these spots. This actually made me cry.

Same age and time for me too. I started my freshman year September 83. Been a huge Lou Rawls fan my whole life and getting this commercial several times a day back then was such a treat.

This is surely bringing back a memory, and thanks to my green recipe folder, I still have all of WGN's logo designs from its 75 years including the one old number 9 and Lou Rawls singing in this promo, and your sister station WGN America (Now NewsNation) which formerly served as the national feed of this TV station, Chicago's Very Own WGN-TV Channel 9. Thanks for a historic promo in a rich TV history.

You guys need to upload the recut version that really showcases how "great" Chicago is. I laughed so hard at that when it was on the air and now I can't find it.

Dude. It's a city. All cities have pros and cons. I love NYC and have lived there for more than a decade, but I've also lived in Chicago. If you think NYC is "a real city" compared to Chicago, you are delusional. Different? Hell yes. Less of a city? Give me a break.
