Until about 1980, 81 or so. WGN-TV Channel 9 would present a rather unusual late night program called the "All Night Show", Once I discovered that old episodes of the "Twilight Zone" were one of the programs featured for such. Does anybody else know of any other specific shows which were highlighted in that unusual program?.

Found this reference:
"...The announcer for both the station ID and the movie intro is Jerry Golden, who during this period typically worked these overnight weeknight hours, as well as weekday mornings and some weekend afternoons. He was quite a character and one of my favorite WGN staff announcers. I have an audio recording of him doing the open for the All Night Show (which followed The Late Movie) in early 1980..."

There were lot of other TV shows on the WGN All Night show. The F.B.I,Zane Gray,Daniel Boone,William Tell,Sea Hunt,Outer Limits. I mainly remember it in the 1980-81 years. I would love to find some VHS,Beta or u-matic recordings of anything from WGN in those years.
