| Sign-off and sign-on of the CBS Network's flagship station combined in one clip.The clip begins with the closing graphic for The Late Late Show followed by a religious PSA. Then comes the Give Us This Day message delivered by a Los Angeles Rabbi. The live sign-off announcement, delivered by Pat Connell, follows with a mix-up of the slide graphics (presumably the person handling those was dozing a little bit), followed by the National Anthem film and about one minute of the black-and-white 1940s-vintage WCBS-TV test pattern (which actually ran about an hour between the sign-off and sign-on). After this comes the sign-on (done live by Connell), which features a rather greenish-looking NAB Seal of Good Practice. |
