At the 0:37 mark, atop the lens casing for the RCA TK-46 camera is a QTV VPS-100 videoprompter apparatus that was first seen in the mid-1970's.

From his 1980 album "Love Approach" (originally GRP/Arista GRP-5008, later re-catalogued GRP-5502).

This is probably the coolest sign-off/sign-on I've ever seen!!!

Say, who's that announcer at the start of the clip? He's been an integral part of NBC4 for most of the 80's and early 90's, from what I gather...

[ASKconard]

@Ian16545 He did their V/O's throughout the '80s and even into the early '90s. WBNS had a longtime V/O guy as well.

Purely funky! Is that a George Benson track in the background?

[RolloSmokes]

@RolloSmokes On second listen, it could be a Herb Alpert track. If anyone knows the name of the song, please shares that info.
