Local TV Notes: Jenny McCarthy’s Splashdown

Plus: WGN’s Mystery Song

1. Name That Tune.
The (outstanding) Museum of Classic Chicago Television wants to know:
“Still trying to ID this tune that was used as the theme to the WGN Morning Movie from at least 1975 through 1981. Someone must know. Or perhaps YouTube Content ID will let me know. :-).”



2. Denis Leary Sighting.
Denis Leary, executive producer of Sirens, which has been wreaking havoc on Chicago for months, stopped into Filter this week and decided to do a scene inside the Wicker Park coffeehouse. Sources close to the Filter tell us everything went smoothly.

3. Splashdown.
Jenny McCarthy More Unpopular Than Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

4. Wheels Down.
