The "Continuity Producer" apparently didn't have a very good night - because the program schedule shown on the screen didn't match anything the announcer said.

@JesseL85719 - "Matinee at the Bijou" was in B&W, but after it ended, WNET engineers apparently forgot to turn back on the chroma until midway through the checkerboarded "Thirteen" bumper as Pat Dawson announced the show would be back in two weeks.

The good old days! I used to see that a lot too.

Looks like they were a bit late switching the chroma circuit back on:-) (most over the air channels shut it off during B&W programming)

I remember this channel. I used to look at Sesame Street on it in the 80s.

Glad it's back. Like the ending..

I just looked at the New York Daily News on Newspapers.com, And this actually appears to be from June 1982.

Love the old Thirteen logo and idents.

I think WNET will air Family Guy reruns to get more viewers.

You're not missing much these days. 13 and the rest of PBS has gone to crap in the last decade or so.

At 2:19, the 1971 PBS logo without music with the unseen man saying “Alec Guinness stars in a run for money next Saturday night at 9:00.

At 2:19, some man talking during the 1971 PBS logo without music.

sounds like a warped 16mm film

Yeah, most of the programming is pledge shows with financial advice and music. I remember their 25 hour Millenium broadcasts which they did all over the network.

@johnissoevil WRONG! NYC respected their city of licensed and their own license was added to their logo at the bottom of their own city of license.

@JesseL85719 From about 1999 until last year, Newark appeared nowhere in the legal ID, the IDs would always say "WNET Thirteen New York." The only time Newark would really be mentioned during that time was when they did the weekly sign off. I just find it unfair that Lautinburg has been challenging WWOR-TV's license renewal since 07 by making untrue accusations about "lack of service to New Jersey," yet WNET gets away with very minimal attention to Newark.

I think in those days, after the sign-off, WNET did cut the carrier.

Alternate 70's PBS logo: Voice-Over no music

@johnissoevil WNET airs 4 hours a week of NJ issues, while WWOR airs 3 hours of NJ issues and small fraction of that is NJ news.

I don't think this is from 1980... I was a TD there then, and I don't think Ann Pennypacker would've been a TD yet... not until maybe 1985 or later... still, a precious momento, thanks.-L.

Anyone can tell me what's name in 2:36 "Tonight" blackground music?

"Reverie" by Claude Debussy as a rendition by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops.

What time WNET used to sign off back in 1980?

Did they show a test pattern after the signoff, or did it just go to static?

Most likely went to static cause theres a later recording of the same channel signing off with basically the same signoff video. But they recorded what happened after which took 5 minutes but they shorten it to 10 seconds it does go to static. Although we can barely see the static cause that cable company had it's own billboard with info whlie the channel itself was not broadcasting anything.

Sorry you didnt get a reply until about a decade later.

Back when 13 actually gave a shit about their city of license, Newark, before NYC stole the station from Newark.

Why is this video in black and white? I want to know because back then and now, they use color broadcasts. Don't believe me? See more 80's WNET videos and find out.

Why is it in black and white?

Was this a show that aired movies?
