Here's a photo, which I think is interesting, showing the studio of WOAY-TV in the 1950s. A camera, rather than a scanner, was used to create the image. Click on ACTIONS to view a larger size. I know it's a long shot, but the contributor of the photo is hoping for some information about the people in the photo, one of whom is her father.

Seriously, I hope she finds the information she's seeking.

Most stations stenciled their call letters on the lights.
