>of some TV station program manager for stuff like that.To be fair, at that time WGN and the Cubs both belonged to the same media company (the Chicago Tribune; "WGN" stands for "World's Greatest Newspaper"), so it wasn't just a random decision by WGN's equivalent of Andy Travis. :)
>Back on topic, tho, what -was- the original manufacturer?
As Eric noted, the company was (and still is, in a much-reorganized form) called Cobray. The animal in the logo is supposed to be a combination cobra and manta ray, a bit of cryptozoology the origins of which I cannot explain.
