  • Yes, that's Bill Wendell as the DuMont announcer at 1:11. He eventually joined NBC as one of their staff announcers in the mid-'50s.

  • The "NBC Television presents" graphic at :22 (which was shown at the start of virtually every NBC "kinnie" from 1948 through '60) was created for the network by Martin J. Weber in 1948. He was an independent graphic artist who created similar slides for virtually all the networks in the '40s and early '50s- and lived to be 102! :41 is from the closing of a 1950 "CAVALCADE OF STARS" program {"Drug Store Television Productions" produced it for the sponsor, the "Quality Drugs" chain}.

  • The CBS IDs were from the first season of ''The Frank Sinatra Show'' (The second one mentions ''Sing It Again'' which followed Sinatra's show on Saturdays -at 10 pm- during the 50-51 season) The NBC ''kinephoto chimes'' and the ''cameraman intro'' are from an unspecified program. The ''live'' 1953 ending chimes are from ''Ding Dong School''. The first DuMont closing probably belongs to ''Cavalcade of Stars'', while the other two are from ''Captain Video''

  • Really high tech on first DuMont thing. Last announcer sounds like the longtime NBC guy

  • Freaking Awesome!!!
