I always thought that some prophylactic company, like Trojan, should have had Seattle Tonight Tonight host Dick Klinger endorse his own line of condoms.
@johnnysama I'm not sure exactly sure what the FCC regulations were for station IDs at the time, but I think they may have had to give the call letters aurally as well as visually. (If not, it was certainly a lot more common back then.)
For that matter, KOMO was always "kayo-emmo" (in that cadence) until the early '80s. I remember Norm Gregory (or maybe it was Larry Nelson) on KOMO radio once mentioning that the station had a policy against them pronouncing the call letters as a word.
@robatsea2009 - I wish I could say I did, but as for the "Seattle Tonight Tonite" music: It's "What a Groove" by the Love Unlimited Orchestra, originally released in 1974 on their debut LP "Rhapsody in White" (20th Century T-433; side 2, track 3), and also issued as the flip of "Baby Blues" (TC-2145) which had originated from that same LP.
@wmbrown6 Thanks very much for identifying that too! I've had pretty good luck in feedback from viewers identifying different music tracks used for clips...so far really the only one I'd been trying to find that stands unanswered (that I can at least recall off hand) is the track used in the CKVU sign-off clip I posted.
@robatsea2009 Nope, but I know that the station ID video was taped in the Space Needle elevator. That's the Seattle Center Monorail moving right to left across the middle of the screen.
@newscaster13 It's not so short now... I was surprised at how perky she's looking now, compared with a few years ago. She doesn't do the 11 p.m. report anymore, so that probably helps!

Jean Enersen was a babe back then.

Odd to hear KING's call letters being said seperately, as opposed to saying it as if it were a wordl

BTW does anyone recognize the music used for the "3:00 Movie" theme?

This was before Enersen cut her hair short, and stayed short.
