Ah, the days when Daylight Saving Time started the last Sunday of April and ended the last Sunday of October...

You mean starting the last day of April, now . . .

I'm a early April to late October guy myself. Shame that the politicians support the March-November phooey in 2007. :-(

This was sort of reminiscent of the sign-off newscasts of their NYC sister station WNBC Channel 4 of the time - except that, as with the 1980 clip already on here, there was (set in the same Helvetica Bold font as this) instead displayed "WNBC-TV News," though the offscreen voiceover (whether Arthur Gary or Jerry Damon or Bill Rippe or who else manned the booth at the time of sign-off) referred to "NewsCenter4" in their script ("Here's a summary of news, sports and weather from NewsCenter4").
