"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."
