Chicago Dopers...WFLD-TV question

Factual Questions
1

I’m not sure if this is the right forum, but I am looking for a factual answer, so I’ll put it here.

I lived in Chicago in the early 1980s. I seem to recall WFLD-TV Channel 32 broadcasting some kind of electronic billboard overnight.

I want to say it was called “Key Facts” or “Nite Owl”?

I vividly recall reading it. It was a combination of messages and facts, like it would list Billboard’s Top 40 songs. Then it would have news. It was all text though. No photos.

No one else I know recalls this. I want to say it was around in 1981 or 1982, it definately was after 1980 though.

Did I just dream this or did it ever exist? :confused:

It was called KeyFax. I remember it as well - endlessly repeating text displays of headlines, sports news, trivia, etc, all to an easy-listening music background.
