| A wonderful classic Big Apple clip, this time it's NBC's flagship station. It commences with a news report (joined in progress) delivered by legendary NBC announcer Don Pardo of Saturday Night Live and the original Jeopardy fame. After that comes a WNBC-TV Editorial by editorial director Joseph Michaels, which is folloed by several PSAs and a station ID by Don Pardo. Then it's the Sermonette, delivered by Fr. J. L. Tahaney of the Brooklyn Diocese. After three more PSAs, its the pre-recorded sign-off announced by Arthur Gary, featuring the 1965 NAB Seal of Good Practice, followed by the U.S. Army Band playing the SSB, then color bars. With no offense to the late Mr. Gary, I would have loved to have heard Don Pardo himself do the sign-off announcement! |
