The Making of the Highlights Show From the beginning, the College Football ‘77 Show is a team effort. It ull begins with film crews covering at least six games in college stadia across the nation. The next critical point (Nos. 1, 2 and 3) is at Chicago’s O’Hare Field, where film from each of the designated games is received. Special ar- rangements are made at the Cinema Processors Lab (No. 4) for night crews to develop the film-with more than 250,000 feet shot during the course of a season. Three film editors (No. 5) and three script writers (No. 6) are used in preparing the show. At 6 a.m. Sunday, Bill Flemming, the host of the show for seven years (shown in No. 7 with head writer Kay Schultz) arrives at the Catholic Television Network, where the show is videotaped (No. 8). A staff of 10 is needed there. Finally, the tapes are delivered to ABC-TV affiliate WLS in Chicago (No. 9), from which the show is fed throughout the United States at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, Central Time, less than 20 hours since the earliest of the featured games was concluded.
