WCIU Channel 26 - "Old One" (Station ID Slide, 1982?)

Views: 1440

Here's an old WCIU Channel 26 Station ID slide - this little clip was between two shows on a tape - it doesn't last very long and doesn't have any audio.

Not sure what year this is from - 1982 would make sense based on it's location on the tape, but it seems older than that to me.

Views: 2796

Here's another rarity - a partial station ID with a cool slide from WSNS TV-44. This aired at the beginning of an episode of The Invisible Man (series) which you can see a little bit of after the partial ID. The only other date clue I have is the ending credits which say that "To Tell The Truth" is next. Can any of our Schedule Sleuths find out when this might be from?

Voiceover (what there is of it) is by Mal Wyman.

This was filmed in front of the master control where they di...
