  • labor day monday, 1978

  • Amazing video!

  • @panasonic1978 - It was Avant Garde Medium.  Ms. Haynes' and Ms. McPhillips' names were set in Standard Medium (a.k.a. Akzidenz-Grotesk a.k.a. AG Old Face Bold).

  • Weird question, but does anyone know the font of the Straight Talk title shot?

  • I'd love to see a '60's Mets ad,complete with the anthem "Meet The Mets"..I'd had a 45 of that!

  • @richmjr67 - Given that announcer Barbara Korsen's status at WOR was vacation relief, evidently this meant Russ Dunbar was on vacation that day . . .

  • Also, "Straight Talk" had been on-air since 1971. The first hosts were Carol Jenkins (later of WNBC-TV and WNYW) and Elinor Guggenheimer; Phyllis Haynes replaced Ms. Jenkins when the latter left for Channel 4 in 1972, and Mary Helen McPhillips took over co-hosting duties around the time Ms. Guggenheimer became New York City Consumer Affairs Commissioner in 1974. (By the early 1980's, Ms. Haynes herself was replaced by Denise Richardson.)

  • i looked this up on mets data base it is actually september 4 1978 mets lost both games 1st game 7-4 2nd game 7-0

  • It seems, based on the daypart from which this aired, Ms. Korsen was filling in on this day for usual morning-shift announcer Russ Dunbar.
