    As a kid, I coveted those CBS logo curtains at Television City.

    Thanks, Mike. The CBS Alumni would like this story.

    Was the Chiming that went with the NBC Logo, I was told this was actually a Cue Tone, used to automatically make some type of switch or pre-roll. Cue Tones later became inaudible. Do you have any insight here from a previous posting?

    I would kill for a CBS neck tie. I also remember the CBS logo cuff links Captain Kangaroo wore.

    They even made CBS Eye lapel pins. I’ve had this for years.

    I remember well, when I worked in CBS affiliates, the 5 second “this is CBS” logo was the perfect pre-roll cue for the local VTR spots.
