WNPB TV sign off produced in 1989. This was heard every night just before we turned off the transmitter. WNPB transmits from a tower high above Coopers Rock state forest near Morgantown West Virginia.

What a treasure, West Virginia. The people, the history, the beauty. Feels like home.

The song is not from a science fiction show from the 1950s. The title is Simple Gifts / Appalachian Spring, by Aaron Copland.

I remembered the first part of the theme from the "CBS Reports" news specials in the 1970's (and possibly before, but I wouldn't know)

Isn't this the theme from one of those CBS programs from the 50's or 60's like The 21st Century?

What is the name of the musical piece being played? I keep forgetting the title and the conductor who wrote it.

Did they ever use any test patterns before?

@mountaineertv1 6 жыл бұрын

We would occasionally use test patterns overnight, when we kept the TX on for whatever reason.
