WGN 9 Chicago News (full) remastered from September 6, 1979

[@norellpolk]

I always loved that night beat opening intro

[@luisreyes1963]

I wonder if the murder of those 2 teen girls in Morton Grove, IL was ever solved.

WGN News must’ve been lower-budget in ‘79, using film cameras for their local reports at a time when most TV news had switched to portable videotape units.

I used to get together with a friend when I worked downstate and watch WGN; we'd lose it over Len O'Connor commentaries. But this brings back a lot of television memories. Thanks for posting

[@DashRetroTV]

You're very welcome.

Jack Taylor was a class act.

Len O"Connor,a man you did not want to examine your actions.His commentary is legendary,either here or on WMAQ. I was 23 then and working,so this was not a program I would often see. Definitely back in the days where political slant was not evident in the news.

I was sad to here that Elizabeth bracket passed away in a bicycle mishap. June 17 2018, she was a great Reporter that I enjoyed watching her when I was a kid, she just reported the news objectively, no propaganda., no agenda., she gave you the news straight. she will be missed greatly.

Wow I was exactly 5 months old when this aired lol

I used to live on Madison St just 3 blocks away from the girl who was murdered but we didnt move there until Nov 1980.

[@DashRetroTV]

The story about the girls actually was in the news again a few weeks ago. www.nbcchicago.com/investigations/44-years-after-2-teens-killed-in-morton-grove-a-renewed-push-to-solve-the-cold-case/3221646/ It's still a terrible tragedy that the families still don't have justice or answers as to what happened.
