Views: 2700

Here's a short station ID from WLS Channel 7 in which a (presumed) employee in the equipment room (notice the RCA TCR-100 videotape machine and carts in the background) wishes everybody Season's Greetings. Followed by 12 seconds of the ABC network logo as shaped in the 1978-79 season (remember their "We're the One" slogan?).

Can anyone ID the woman?
