(RECREATION) WRCA-TV (now WNBC) sign off (1958)

Since there was no video of this sign-off, I decided to do a recreation. Hope you enjoy this sign-off recreation.

Programs used:
KineMaster for editing and making the two photo slides at the end.
Super 16 for the effect.

It's now WNBC-TV. It signed on the air for the 1st time on July 1, 1941, as WNBT-TV. It kept those calls till 1954, when it became WRCA, and has been WNBC since 1960. Thanks so much for this.

When WRCA-TV became WNBC-TV in New York in 1960, it took the call sign from an NBC station in New Britain, Connecticut ;the station's name only pertained to the town's name and not the National Broadcasting Company.

When I was a child WRCA-TV starting running promos saying "a big change is coming to WRCA-TV". Even children's puppet WEBSTER WEBFOOT cut one of the promos. As a child I thought they would be going all kids shows! I was deflated when it turned out to be a call letter change to WNBC-TV.

The sign-off announcer here, Jerry Damon, died in 1979.
