Now it has me wondering if the Kraft food live commercials were produced in a separate studio from the programs.
Another question: I wonder if they had color gen-lock yet, or were doing hot switching during black.

Found this script from Ed. Again, I do not believe it is on his site:
(I recall always seeing a big switching transient in the video as the network origination point was changed from the Brooklyn Studio to the Colonial Theater for these commercials. But ah, those luscious Kraft commercials -– you might need a napkin when seeing them. EHR)
