This definitely has the earmarks of a small town TV station.

Well, if anything KXJB was sure Avant Garde with part of their sign-off sequence (the news). And I think this is the smallest TV station to display the Seal of Good Practice. This is a RARE piece of TV for this part of the U.S.

"FAULTY SOUND IS OURS" Good to know. And this actually aired around 12:40 on November 8 of the following day, following an airing of _Hawaii Five-O._ (SOURCE: Winnipeg Free Press archives)

Charley Johnson should have been Bill Tush's co-anchor in the early days of Superstation WTBS in Atlanta. That would have been an interesting match.

The Washington Caps-Winnipeg Jets score: Caps 6, Jets 3.

The TV station was in its early days I think, so they were learning how to fix issues

They'd been on the air for 24 years at this point (1955) so the TV station wasn't new. But I think the technology was moving quickly.

After 5:48 the music not heard in Sports scores shown in Final Edition from then CBS Valley City-Fargo affiliate KXJB-TV (now KRDK-TV), was muted at 5:53 due to a copyright claim by a record label's music distributor as seen from this post prior to The Christopher's "Thought for the Day," the U.S. Navy Hymn and KXJB-TV's sign-off at 9:11 which leads up to a locally produced National Anthem.

The same Navy Hymn film used by WRTV Indianapolis, Indiana.

Does anybody know who the choir performing the US anthem are, at the 10:00 mark? Beautiful rendition.

@@jareddicarlo7816 I figured, but they are not named. Needless to say, that alone is why I'm still wondering who this wonderful choir performing the SSB are / were

Man this news team was bush league. Looks like they picked people off the street and filmed this in someone's basement.

It's North Dakota. A "first job" for the main anchor, but probably not his dream job. I wonder who was the News Director who let them do this.
