Chief Halftown
WPVI-TV
1992

Chief Halftown was a television icon for 50 years, all of it on Channel 6. The station was originally known as WFIL-TV and today is WPVI-TV. We have three clips from the same Chief Halftown show from 1992.

In the first clip, Chief Halftown opens the show. The theme is, in reality, the show's music director Larry Ferrari just sort of vamping.

On our second clip, the Chief thanks some of his guests for appearing on the broadcast. This was after the second commercial break, about two-thirds of the way through the program.

On our last excerpt, Chief Halftown wraps up the show and the credits roll. We have left the entire credits in the clip. Again, the music is Larry Ferrari vamping.
