Description

The history of Tv in Chicago begins with the birth of the medium and is defined by town’s pioneering stations. WBKB (now WLS-TV) was once the principal innovator of the Chicago School of Tv, an improvisational production style that combined small budgets, personable talent, and the creative use of scenery and props. WNBQ (now WMAQ-TV) expanded the innovative concept to a much broader audience by means of the NBC network. WGN-TV scored with sports and kids. Strong personalities drove the success of WBBM-TV. A noncommercial educational station, WTTW, and town’s first UHF station, WCIU, added diversity and ethnic programming. The airwaves in Chicago have been home to a wealth of talented performers and iconic programs that experience made town probably the most country’s greatest Tv towns. Chicago Tv, featuring photographs from the archives of the Museum of Broadcast Communications (MBC) and the collections of local stations and historians, gives readers a front-row seat on a journey during the fi rst 50 years of Chicago Tv, 1940-1990. Founded in 1982 by broadcaster Bruce DuMont, the MBC Internet web site offers over 10,000 digital assets.
