I think just about everybody has used Heavy Action at some point. I even remember hearing it once on an MTV promo.

Hi, I'm 70 and lived in Des Plaines then. I remember that all too well. That's where Lester Holt got his start, Channel 2 News! I worked at O'Hare at AA then and remember that commercial. I remember that Demonstration in Skokie, but I never remembered any movie about it with Danny Kaye (AKA Walter Mitty - tapuckit tapuckit LOL). Guess you could say, I did NOT SEE that coming, ANN FRANKLY I was surprised! (just a joke, lighten up). Seriously, thanks for the flashback! Familiar faces from back in the day. Do you have any Fahey Flynn or P. J. Hoff? Joel Daly (we used to call him Howdy Doody cuz his ears), John Coleman, Tim Weigel or more? I'd be interested in seeing more on that daycare series. My mom had a daycare center then. Also any footage of the riots in Grant park during the '68 Democratic convention? My dad was a Patrolman in the midst of that and remember seeing him a couple times on TV putting people in his Patty Wagon.

Lester Holt was also for a time at sister station WCBS Channel 2 in New York. So the "Big Apple" as well as the "Windy City" lay claim to him. As, by the way, they could to John Coleman, who was at WCBS from September 1983 to August 1984, before his Chicago return via WMAQ Channel 5.

12:57 "They're an unusual couple, because they take turns being full-time parents." It's really kinda baffling to me, having not grown up through this era, seeing the fact that 50/50 co-parenting was really unheard of some odd 40 years ago. Like, today, that's not unusual, that's your neighbor's house. That's just a common thing most households do now -- arguably cuz they have to, but

18:39 imagine driving out to O'Hare to buy a plane ticket today. It would be $4.05 for the ticket and $405.00 in fees!
0:43 Rick Dees is the voice of this promo. The news credits list 34 field cameramen for WBBM. I assume that’s the entire department and not just people working this one weekend show, but it’s still quite a large number. It would be huge today.

Some CBS O&Os referred to their ENG camera operators as “Minicam”… sometimes depending on the style of credits it’s the entire unit or daypart. I suspect it’s the former

Wonder who, in terms of reportage, would have been Ms. Anderson's equivalent at, say, WCBS Channel 2 in New York at the time - Arnold Diaz?
