Outstanding!!! He Was My Favorite WGN News Caster. Mr.Floyd Brown.

This might be the only surviving original video tape footage from the '73 Lakers vs Bulls WCC game 7. It's great to finally get to see it, since the game was blacked out in LA. I still remember listening to Chick call this game on the radio.

7:30 May 6, 1973. Parts of good brawl between the Cubs & Giants. this is the 2nd brawl of the inning. Brawls like this used to happen all the time but video such as this is long gone. glad this one at least saw the light of day. note the umps used to stand to the side & just watch.

RIP Floyd Brown 1930-2022

This footage is remarkable! Well done!

This is absolutely fantastic! Thanks for the post! Hope you come across more vintage WGN sports footage!

This was pre-Max Headroom. The sports was just not the same without him.

The day after this game, a friend told me "...your lucky.... your guy Wilt saved the Lakers last night cause with seconds left he blocked a shot, recovered it and flipped the ball down court to Goodrich for the basket..." Never saw this until today and now I don't have to stick to MY imagination of how the play happened and actually looked .... Thanks for the video...

14:45 - Longines branded countdown on top from the then-owners of All American Scoreboards, the scores and other numbers from Time-O-Matic. Apparently at Soldier Field for years.

Floyd Brown there was a real doozy .

To think back then, the Bulls & Blackhawks came close to winning their respective championships. Guess we had to wait 20+ years for the Bulls & 40+ years for the Blackhawks. Also, 2016 was the greatest year for Chicago Cubs fans.

This is part of the chicago tapes discovered. It was a betacam sp dub. Looks like a engineer was saving what he worked on

Looks like an end-of-year review of the year in sports.

Who was covering the Stanley Cup for NBC in 1973?

What’s the story on those baskets in the basketball game at the beginning? Did high schools not use rectangular backboards then?

Keep up the good work! Hope you have the ad to "The Fabulous Fingers of" Irving Fields' 50 Songs You'll Always Love album in your archives.

WGN America is changing to NewsNation on March 1st.

@ ObsoleteVideo - What's the story behind this clip - did WGN transfer it's News Archive at some point or was this done indepdently by someone who ended up with the footage?

Good Lord could Melton not dive for that grounder?

What is the name of this reporter? I can't remember it?
