1950s Station Ids

[vinljnkie]

The only early station ID that I know of is the famous KARD 3 Wichita, Kansas ID before the broadcast of An Evening with Fred Astair from 1958. This was the first program to be prerecorded and edited on color video tape. Some shows were prerecorded on color tape before this but they were recorded all the way through in one shot as if live with no editing. I stole my avitar pic from this video

Thanks.

Yeah, I have seen that one. What I've got are some kinescope transfers of early 50's network programs, like the 1952 W.S. for example. It begins with the standard network intro, "Brought to you by NBC Cavalcade of Sports" What I'd like is a short DVD clip of a local ID to give it that authentic recorded locally feel. I've got a bunch of other kinescopes from CBS and Dumont, the same in that there is no local ID, just the network stuff.

I figured the local ID on DVD would be hard to come by since few local stations 'scoped anything. I do know there are some early ones available with local Baltimore and LA (rather than National) programming. Maybe I'll have to track it down that way...
