ABC (TV station) Video

Since this video has contributed to a rise in stupidity, I'll set this straight off the back. Pay attention, stupid questions will get stupid responses. These videos were part of a "game" created by the folks at SomethingAwful, and they were about a fictional TV hijacking. This video was originally made to show how the hijack MAY have been presented if a TV station in Wyoming was really hijacked. But now that the "game" is over, this is somewhat of an archive of the videos since the original uploader pulled them off YouTube. To put it simple: It's Fake. --------------------- Note to our audience in Russia, I would like to receive comments in English, please! Your questions will be answered much more quickly.

This is the 'Station Identification' bumper used between commercials during the 1966-67 broadcast of the ABC mega-hit television show 'The Fugitive', starring David Janssen. This bumper queued the local television network affiliate to identify itself by its call sign. "The Fugitive will continue following station identification" would then be followed by the local TV announcer saying something like, "You're watching WTAE-TV, Pittsburgh." The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) rules dictate that TV stations must periodically identify themselves to the viewers. At that time, station ID bumpers were a regular part of American television viewing and this method was used well into the 1970s but was soon replaced with the station logo graphics at the bottom of the screen that viewers now see today. Anyway, this piece of mindless info should not overshadow that fact that 'The Fugitive' was one of the best TV shows ever created and had some of the best writers and screen talent assembled. Even the final episode which aired on August 29, 1967 captured a then record-breaking audience with 72% of all TVs in the country tuned in. Watching 'The Fugitive' is well worth your time, buy the DVDs and see why the drama and suspense of this show surpasses much of what's offered on television today. The show ran for four seasons from 1963-67. Seasons 1-3 are in b/w and the final 4th season is in color.

Sign-off of Petersburg/Richmond, Virginia area's ABC affiliate. It begins with "Inspiration", featuring a Church of Christ minister, then to the sign-off and "Aim High America" USAF National Anthem film. My apologies for the quality of the clip, for it was recorded at my home near Winston-Salem NC, some 200-plus miles from Richmond VA.
