Classic Network Logo

We go back all the way to RKO Television in New York... From the mid-1970s to 1987, there was one logo that was synonymous with Channel 9 and this was it... Originally based in New York, WOR-TV moved to its current location in Secaucus, New Jersey in 1983... In 1987, it was repackaged as WWOR-TV and a new logo emerged with it... The station text has been tweaked a bit due to not finding a font compatible enough to give a more accurate display... Enjoy...

On a side note... This coming from Wikipedia.org...

On the week of September 6, 1976 (my birth date), channel 9 offered programming from Thames Television during primetime, completely presented as if Thames was actually running WOR-TV. Many of these shows had never before been seen on American television, and one of them provided America's first look at Thames' greatest export -- The Benny Hill Show. Also included that week was an episode of Man About The House, which would be reinvented the following year on ABC as Three's Company. WOR-TV aired episodes of the BBC's science-fiction series Doctor Who during this period as well.
