    Most people don't know that the "this is CBS" voice was not just an ornament...it was an outcue for the local stations to run their local spots right after. I spent several years in radio and TV master control....and I miss the "This is CBS" voice...All gone now because everything is computerized. What once was switched by people sitting behind a control panel is now done by computer...that's why you see more flash frames and errors than ever.

  • That's his trademark. He's worn one since his career began. I met him and got a picture taken with him that I still have when I attended the 1986 Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas...he has a reputation as a very competent and kind man. For years he threw a party once a year at his place back east for all the CBS technicians and workers....he is a real class act.

  • @LIAmediaGROUP which CBS station did you watch it on?

  • lol @ the bow tie. jesus. i was in second or third grade around the airing of this. i remember the THIS IS CBS dude's voice

  • Osgood still sports a bow tie on "SUNDAY MORNING"...

  • I will always remember him wearing a bow tie...How cool was that, you know!

  • Osgood did this "NEWSBREAK" {8:57pm(et)} because, as he mentions at the end, he also anchored the 15 minute "CBS SUNDAY NIGHT NEWS" at 11pm(et), later that night. The Midas spot was also seen locally on WCBS-TV in New York (one time, after Osgood's newscast, I remember)...

  • haha a male reporter wearing a bow tie!

  • This is from Sunday, August 25, 1985.
