'''Nickname(s):''' "Cheesy Thunderbolt"


'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a glowing orb leading a segmented white-lined rectangle slide in from the left of the screen. A bolt of lightning strikes the rectangle and reveals the red equilateral triangle pointing down with a "thunderbolt" drawn 3/4 through it. An RKO General copyright notice appears below, and the words "RKO TELEVISION" are "lasered in" by red beams and appear opposite the triangle, which pulsates twice at the end. The station's logo, (either WOR-TV, KHJ-TV or WHBQ-TV) along with multicolored lines, slide in above the logo from the left.
