| Sign-on clip of South Carolina's Capital
City's NBC Network station, contributed by John Pinckney
of Pasadena CA. He recorded it at the home of Anita
Garvin, his grandmother, who lived in South Carolina. The
clip begins with about ten seconds of the classic WIS-TV
B&W test pattern, followed by the sign-on
announcement. Next up is a piece called People Make
It Special, which is a credit roll of the entire
WIS-TV staff at the time, a la Sacramento's
KRBK-TV 31sign-off from 1986 (recognize anyone
you might know?). The film montage that is part of this
includes footage of University of South Carolina
Gamecocks football and the Capital Building in Columbia. RELATED CLIPS: |
