The late Allan Jefferys V/O'd the preemption notice in favor of a special "Tuesday Movie of the Week" ("The President's Plane Is Missing") at the start of this clip, and Bill Owen V/O'd the open. As for the "Candlepins for Cash" promo V/O afterwards, who was it? (Sure wasn't Leif Jensen.) The V/O after the "Sonny & Cher" promo, was Wally King. The "Festival of Lively Arts" V/O was Alan Berns, followed by Mr. King. The teletype SFX heard over Chuck Scarborough is used today by 1010 WINS.
Yes, these off-air recordings from four decades ago have help up well. Most of the content was taped from a Sony TV-720U, a small seven-inch black and white portable that was introduced in the late 1960s.
The recordings were made at a speed of 3.75 inches-per-second in the quarter-track format.
didn't Chuck Scarborough move to WNBC-TV in 1974. he was at WNAC-TV Boston, before 1974.

EXCELLENT! I hope you're able to dig up some more old Boston TV footage. Especially from the likes of WSBK-TV 38, and WLVI-TV 56. Thanks!
