At one time every station in Chicago--a maximum of five, until 1964-produced or aired some programming for children. From the late 1940's through the early 1970's, local television stations created a golden age of children's television unique in American broadcasting. Though the shows often operated under strict budgetary constraints, these programs were rich in imagination, inventiveness, and devoted fans. Now, discover the back stories and details of this special era from the people who created, lived, and enjoyed it--producers, on-air personalities, and fans.
