They're celebrating every day at 10pm with a new segment. Here is a little more information on how they're celebrating their 75th anniversary:

 

This link shows each segment each day this week and you can vote on the top memorable story which they will show in a segment called Flashback Friday through December. Also a list of first for the television station which I found interesting.

Quick FYI-

 

I caught bit of their 75th Anniversary Special today and they mentioned (toward the end of the program) that they're turning one of the sound stages on the 2nd fl. into a huge newsroom combining the news-gathering resources of WMAQ-NBC 5, Telemundo Chicago and NBC Sports Chicago thus bringing everything 'under one roof.' 

 

No word if they're going to move the entire operation of NBC Sports Chicago to the Tower as well, but it would make sense to do so.
