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.
