 6. The
Complete Coverage of the Complete Coverage on WCFL, Chicago
This is from a 45 rpm WCFL pressed to demonstrate the quality and the quantity
of the station's coverage of a major blizzard in January, 1967.
This was presumably distributed to station clients and ad agencies.
Unfortunately, Bob is not heard on this recording, as it precedes his arrival at
WCFL by several months. However, the recording does convey the size and
professionalism of the news department Bob was about to join.
This very scratched up 45 was professionally restored by Dave Plotkin,
Production Director at 1010 WINS. He is available for your restoration
project and he can be reached at
