New England TV Station Sign-On -- Leaf Floating Downsteam??

Does anyone from the New England area remember a tv station's sign-on (PBS??) that had a leaf floating downstream with accompanying instrumental music?

 

Can't find it on Youtube?

 

Sounds better than much of today's television!

 

At the 2:00 mark...

 

Thank you.

 

That YouTube vid gave me a flashback. Yes, I remember seeing that sign-on on WLVI. I would have thought it would have been years before 1986, though. Wonder why the OP was looking for it?

 

I'd watch a half hour of Leaf Floating Downstream over any modern sitcom any day of the week. That looks nice.

 

Heck, the test pattern (which I would date to 1975-76 in terms of when first put into service - a Tele-Measurements TM-501 slide with station info added, B.T.W) would be preferential to much of what passes for "entertainment" on TV today.

 

Well, I guess I have a faulty memory. I thought the entire sign-on was the camera following a single leaf all the way downstream. I had it in my head that it was one of the PBS stations from Boston, MA or Providence, RI.

Anyway, I guess when I was home sick from school I watched TV all day and that stuck out in my mind. Ah, yes "I Love Lucy", " McHale's Navy", "Hogan's Heroes", " The Courtship of Eddie's Father", "Family Affair", " The Brady Bunch", "Bob Newhart Show", etc. etc.

Yep, WLVI, WSBK, WXNE, WGBH, WSBE, WGBX and later, WVJV (V66)

 

TV is always better when you're watching it sick (or pretending to be sick) home from school.

 

The Brady Bunch? What channel was it on back then?

 

WLVI - Channel 56 (Boston)

 

Thank you, because I have a question about this commercial actually.

The Brady Bunch Hour on WLVI-TV Living 56 in America's Favorite Family | Retro Junk Commercial »

Did the channel show the variety show as well or just the regular show? Also, is it the same as this?

The Brady Bunch Hour on WPIX-TV in It's 5PM | Retro Junk Commercial »

 

I think just the original series.

Different channel, same show

 

Thank you very much.
