4':i The story broke early in January wit. indications of blatant corruption in the Chicago Police Department. Rrst to be undone: a group of patrolmen ' accused of sponsoring their own thiefiv Expose followed expose, flushing dishonest policemen and irresponsible higher-ups. All newspapers and radio and television stations in Chicago duly reported these developments. WNBQ Television and WMAQ Radio, Chicago's NBC stations, went further. Shortly after the first shocking discovery, the stations' "City Desk" programs devoted their full energies to a penetrating examination of the scandal's cause and effect. Every week since, these Sunday programs have continued the search by interviewing law enforcement authorities and persons directly concerned with the issues. 'Shadow On Our City," a WNBQ documentary series, scheduled in prime time, focused on the political use the scandal has been put to and developed some stunning revelations and startling conclusions. Regular newscasts continued to provide valuable insight that helped Chicago's citizens take intelligent action to meet the situation. The Chicago Daily News' appraisal of these efforts typifies critical response: 'WNBQ has put its TV competition to shame with its special coverage of the police scandal. WNBQ has performed a vital, responsible public service." Chicagoans now can look forward to a completely reorganized police department . and a happier, healthier community. And WNBQ and WMAQ can look with pride upon a bright new chapter in a long history of public service programming. CHANNEL 5 670 ON THE DIAL^ NBC OWNED STATIONS IN CHICAGO
