Here's a very brief excerpt of a station ID slide from WBBM Channel 2. The "2" at this point was from the network-mandated "CBS Didot" serif font, unlike sister stations WCBS Channel 2 in New York and then-KNXT Channel 2 (now KCBS) in Los Angeles which then used sans-serif Grotesque No. 9 whose size was the same as the CBS Eye. It should be also noted that another sister station at the time, WCAU...

Views: 2823

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 aired on local Chicago TV early Saturd...

Here's a station ID slide from WBBM Channel 2 with the "Project Learning" logo and a voiceover message (by Bob Carrington) asking if your children had done their homework yet. This is followed by the "CBS Bong".

This was along the lines of such famous top-of-hour messages as this one from WNEW (now WNYW) Channel 5 in New York (future sister station to our own WFLD Channel 32) that asked (and still asks) ever...

Here's a rare Station ID and slide from WTVO Channel 17.

Voiceover by Bob Kevern.

"Bob was the weather man and did most of the booth announcing. Bob also introduced the weather window, with shots of citizens waving at the camera. Bruce Richardson anchored the news and was a wonderful person. Bob Lewis did the sports and had a loose casual style. If Ernie Banks dropped in - he was on the air. Those were good times." - Ted Schwandt
