"Believe it or not, a 47-year-old movie about a flock of feathered fiends — hosted by a man in a top hat and heavy eye makeup — turned out to be the top-rated program in prime time on a recent Saturday night. OK, the movie happened to be an HD presentation of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic “The Birds,” and the man in the makeup was Chicago’s beloved “Svengoolie,” Rich Koz. (The May 1 airing from 7 to 10 p.m. was No. 1 among viewers between the ages of 25 and 54.) Hoping to clean up in the ratings again, Weigel Broadcasting’s WCIU-Channel 26 will rerun “The Birds” on “Svengoolie” at 9 p.m. this Saturday."
