Because of this, Channel 5 themselves running commercials during the Bulls game broadcasts on SportsChannel Chicago since NBC (owner of Channel 5) owned the partial stake in SportsChannel with Cablevision. In exchange for the sponsorship of the Bulls game broadcasts on the RSN, SportsChannel Chicago airing the ads on Channel 5 during NBA on NBC broadcasts, NBC primetime shows and on the Channel 5 News (later NBC 5 News) newscasts.
I created the video using ClipChamp, but with the NBC Chimes added when they see the logo.
In May of 1997, WMAQ-TV had revised the 1995 news promo with images of Carol Marin had been removed from the promo and instead the footage of Lisa Parker, Mark Suppelsa, Warner Saunders and Allison Rosati is used, along with the footage of Robin George. Meanwhile Charlie Van Dyke still saying "Channel 5 News" instead of saying "NBC 5 News" towards the end of the promo.
The promo was shown during SportsChannel Chicago's Chicago Bulls 1997 Playoff Games in addition to channel 5 itself.
Vi Nguyen, Pete Sack, Lexi Sutter, Dave Wannstedt, Mike Berman, Liza Chavaria, and Sandra Torres are featured.
During this year, NBC 5 Chicago together with its on air talent and its special guests Marie G and Ian Johnson participating in the promos and the IDs donated the sales from airing this year's holiday promos and IDs, along with the purchase sales of the 2024 NBC 5 Christmas Cards at participating Jewel-Osco and on the NBC Chicago website, and the ticket sales of "Hey Hey It's Saturday x NBC 5 Chicago All-Stars 20th Anniversary Christmas Celebration" at the Chicago Theater on December 9-19 plus the Hey Hey It's Saturday Christmas Concert 2024 performance will be all donated to Greater Chicago Food Depository (via Feeding America), Comic Relief US' Red Nose Day, World Food Programme and UNICEF USA to help hunger children in the Chicagoland area and in Africa. This year's promos will be also dedicated to honor Maria G's final season as main host of "Hey Hey It's Saturday", NBC 4 New York recently appointing Marie as station ambassadress and co-host for "New York Live" starting next year.
The promos were aired on NBC 5 themselves along with "Hey Hey It's Saturday" during the 2024 holiday season.
