The logo with the AT&T globe in the middle, starting around 10:40 is the logo I remember when we were able to get WGN in West Michigan back in the 80's.

It's a shame that you can't see the Chicago Bulls or Blackhawks on WGN-TV anymore as of 2019!

18:15 I remember this channel was on the airwaves in Northern California in the early 90's before it became a Superstation. In fact, my auntie lived in Berkeley, CA and she had cable. I sometimes come over to watch WGN for Bulls basketball and sometimes Cubs and White Sox baseball games. Up to this day, I'm still trying to figure out how an East Bay town in California to get a channel this is not local and the network is in the Central Time zone.

Note that WGN in announcing a color program went as far as possible in adopting the NBC peacock and similar introductory music.

[@gaffneyrailroading1982]

At the time, the peacock wasn't in any part of NBC's corporate logo.
