Video Recording of WKRG-TV Newscast From 1975

Nice news set! (Not.) Reminds me of an old news set on KPHO-TV Phoenix (back in its indie days) with carpeting half up the walls.

Were those TK-42 cameras?
 
^In case you were referring to the camera in the parts of the newscast with the words "More News to Come", I believe the answer is no.

The camera I see (the "More News to Come" bumper) is not an RCA - it's a Sony. Dunno what the model number was, but it looks to be one of the earliest ENG cameras. I could be wrong, but not on the brand; as it rotates, there's a brief point where the SONY logo is visible. But you have to be looking for it. :)

Interesting graphics. Some of them look quite ahead of their time, especially that animated opening graphic with the rotating "star" thingy.
