WSNS Channel 44 - "Stars" (Partial Station ID Slide, 1977)

Views: 2781

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.
