Editor's Note: The effects and droning music in this logo make it unlike anything used by other public TV stations at the time (even WGBH). What's more peculiar is that this logo seemed to be used well into the 1990's, at least in speculation after the discovery of the 2nd and 3rd logos. However, the claims are seemingly false.
