Abstract
Four humorous bumpers for WLS-TV News in Chicago made by famed ad man Joe Sedelmaier. The ads cheekily explain the success and origins of the news team.
Description
The WLS-TV news team of Fahey Flynn, Joel Daly, John Coleman and Bill Frink established a highly successful new local news format derisively dubbed "happy talk" by a local television columnist. This style of local news has been widely copied. The team dominated Chicago television news ratings for more than a decade.
