Wow... and I was there that night... is my whole life on the internet? Bobby Evans, Mary Beth Cunningham; the announcer was Donna Drewes... back in the day. Thank you very much! -L.
Interesting. FYI -- judging from the 2006 sign-on clip -- the technical city of license is still Newark NJ, though the station IDs of both WNET and sister WLIW often feature the New York 'super'.
Same here. I remember this after watching Cinema Thirteen. In this particular package notice the fancy effects fading to black--cutting edge for 1984. But I will echo goriajk's sentiment. Wonder what became of Donna Drews, though?
That's what I'm wondering. Also, likewise with Karen Dahle, who was an NBC staff announcer out of New York before the network ended the 24h/7d booth announcer positions in the '90's.

For those wondering, the sign-off music was an orchestral rendition of Debussy's "Reverie."

Only two years after this, the current "Voice of Thirteen," Tom Stewart, did a sign-off to this film/video, also crediting the production staff.

And in-between, another V/O, Roger Rathburn, did likewise.

I love how Donna Drews gives namechecks of all the continuity team here.

What does "continuity" mean?
petersupertigger 4 years ago
Continuity (in broadcasting) means on-air announcements, messages, promos, trails, station IDs that surround radio/television programmes.

Although WNET is off the air from 3 A.M. to 5 A.M. on Sunday night/Monday morning, so those color-bars aficionados can relax.
