(MSTS1) Sunday Cinema 7 WNAC - 1960s Boston

This is an inbred mix of original station graphics (altered by me for here), and also my own graphics, animation and video, matched up to some of my old audio recordings of WNAC-TV from the 1960s.
Warning- it gets 'groovy' near the end..

I suspect the second clip for "Sunday Cinema" came from 1966 or 1967, whenever WNAC got it';s first color cameras. It appears to be taped footage of a color camera shooting into some colored lights, with two chroma-keyed backgrounds (the logo, except fort the lettering, changing colors, while the words "Sunday Cinema" remained in white).

@altfactor - Actually I made it myself, but my methods were just as you described. The lights were from a blinking colorbox I got in 1976. Decades later, I taped some shots of it before I threw it out.

..and thank you for that too :)

[tapthatt2012]

what did you use to record the audio back then. how extensive is that collection?

[MSTS1]

They are from slow-speed reel-to-reel, and I have quite a bit. The challenge is to match up or create images for them.

Since WNAC was an RKO General-owned station, they had access to the extensive RKO Pictures Library (among others).

In the mid-sixties, they were an ABC affiliate, so the "Sunday Night Movie" at 9 may in fact have been a network movie.
