According to Broadcast Pioneers member Charlie Higgins, personnel include cameraman Jim Graham on the left side and Bob Froehlich on the right camera.

Tony Verna, a long-time producer/director at WCAU-TV e-mailed:

The photo...has, I believe, a 19 year old AD in the far left of the screen (white shirt) looking down (at a monitor blocked from view). I believe it's me. I usually checked the monitor when the cameras were moving to make sure things were working out ok.
