In 1945, what now is WNBC-TV in New York was WNBT, and it broadcast over Channel 1.
Yes, in 1945, there was a Channel 1. What there wasn't was too many televisions on which to watch what was playing on Channel 1. That's a pity -- folks missed one of the freakin' coolest station IDs ever produced.
Back then, lots of things seemed important. They were surrounded by an air of importance. And people thought they were important.
Today? Everything is cutoffs and flip-flops.
Whatever.
I wish I had been born a couple of decades before I was. It might have been nice to live more of my life during the era of Stuff That Mattered, you know?

As one who lived and worked radio beginning in the 50's...you are right, we cared, we mattered and it was cool.
