Описание: Not from Chicago, but somewhat related, as it comes from WLVI Channel 56 in Cambridge/Boston, MA, which at this point had just been taken over by Field Communications (owner of WFLD Channel 32), but for now was still using the Kaiser era logo which dated back to its 1966 sign-on as WKBG - here's the opening for Creature Double Feature, as seen on a Umatic EOTF (End-of-Tape Find).
