@wmbrown6 Yes, that is correct, CBS News 36 was also used for CBS' news programming going back to ca. 1967-68 on art cards and telecine slides, prior to the Vidifont's introduction in 1971.
As you mentioned , the font was digitized for the Vidifont CG (which was possibly the first high-res video CG with foundry-quality fonts when introduced by CBS Labs in '71, the competition from Chyron and such at that era was pretty crude in comparison, with fonts that were quite blocky and pixelated).

@robertmark34 Monster Rally hosted by Sinister Seymour... great memories!

This is from a tape I unearthed (found it at a flea market)- that Zeidler & Zeidler overlay and voiceover spilled over from a short Bonjour jeans commercial that preceded the ID. The voiceover may have been done live.

Great bumper, which I remember well. Does someone somewhere have the KTLA theme for Movie For A Sunday Evening or Movie For A Saturday Evening from the late seventies?

Awesome.
It was all so nice and simple then when it came to broadcasting on these local stations. So much more better than the crappy infomercials that clog up the late-night airwaves now. I remember back in the day when unless the stations went off the air at a certain time, they would be on with movies all night long. Bring back the late show & the late, late show!!!(was there a late, late, late show too? Sounds unlikely, but there may have been, just don't recall!)

With a Vidifont typeface (the first major computer-based character generator system that looked more lifelike; the font here was a digitized version of Rudi Bass' "CBS News 36") used for the film title and star.
