  1. I like how they transitioned from the tv 8 evening news to the network news. Just pan the camera over their heads and into the CBS news.

  2. Art Modell bought WJW radio earlier. Since the radio station had the priority to the WJW monogram, Channel 8 had to change its calls. Apparently, they changed to WJKW to preserve its WJW identity.
