Retired WLS-TV Music Director Frank McNulty, who worked on The Oprah Winfrey Show, turned 100 years old this week.In fact, on Saturday evening, ABC7's Tre Ward was standing in the very room where McNulty contributed music for a morning show hosted by Oprah Winfrey.
McNulty turned 100 years old on Thursday. His career spans television and music, impacting many across the world. But, he spent this milestone birthday in a quaint backyard in Deerfield, surrounded by the people who love him most."That was the beginning of television," McNulty recalled. "It hasn't changed much. It used to be all kinds of flashing pictures every once and awhile.""One-hundred years of music," McNulty said.
Before the birth of television, there was a bright-eyed McNulty, eager to prove himself. In 1944, he started working at a local television station that eventually became ABC-TV. He was a band remote manager, scheduling prominent musical acts, including his own music.Then, in the early 1980s, he became the music director for "The Oprah Winfrey Show" when production was at WLS-TV in downtown Chicago.He later retired in 1999 at age 76.
With a life paved in the television industry, there's still one title he's yet to hold: a TV news reporter. That's at least, until now.Copyright © 2023 WLS-TV. All Rights Reserved.
