The station had a unique ID at the time, with the NBC "snake" logo inside the number 4.
Several times when I was kid I was watching the local CBS affiliate and when they went to a station break with the CBS eye there at the bottom was "WCBS New York". I guess somebody in NY pushed the wrong button.
