Bob Hite, Sr.... was at WXYZ, Detroit, before coming to CBS, New Yor, in 1944. At WXYZ he was one of the well-known narrators of the Lone Ranger, Green Hornet, Yukon Challange, the Shadow and many more... His collague, Dick Osgood, once said of him, in his book WYXIE WONDERLAND, "Bob Hite could read you the phone book and make you want to buy the numbers!" Hite retired in 1979 from CBS and died in 2000 at age 86.

I remember seeing this while my mom would be watching soap operas during the day.

That's correct, 'wm' Apparently, CBS News decided the "color" bumper was more appropriate for entertainment programming, and had Harry Kramer (and the announcers following him) just mention the fact the newscast was "in color" during the opening and closing...

[wmbrown6]

I.I.N.M., the reason for this bumper not being on the "CBS Evening News" may have had to do with its then-announcer, Harry Kramer, intoning at the beginning and end, "Direct from our newsroom in New York [or on some weeks, Washington], in color . . . " (Ironically, Hite replaced Kramer on the "Evening News" in 1972 - and Simms replaced Kramer on "The Edge of Night" that same year.)

CBS have the BEST Color indent ever and is My favorite of the three and I especially enjoy listening to the enthuisastic voice of Bob Hite with Hal Simms before that and this was seen prior to CBS Programs like The Beverly Hillbillies,Gomer Pyle USMC,Gunsmoke and Daytime Soaps like As The world Turns,Guiding Light and Theee Eddddge Of Night pardon for My Harry Kramer immatation.

Thank you for posting this mid-late 1960's CBS Color indent MiscVideo78rpm.

This was the "standard" color "bumper" that originally appeared before virtually EVERY CBS program from 1966 through 1970 [Bob Hite, announcer]- except Walter Cronkite's "CBS EVENING NEWS". This was during the period when prime-time on the three major networks [NBC/CBS/ABC] "converted" to 100% color, and CBS wanted to let viewers know it (they didn't begin regular color telecasting until the fall of 1965!)...
