On Sunday, November 14, 1965, this MRC (Mechnical Reproduction Credit) announcement along with a WFIL Jingle (used as an ID) was aired. It also contains the opening of a WFIL newscast by WFIL newsman John Raleigh.

A regular visitor to our site, Michael J. Gushue has identified the announcer doing the MRC as Broadcast Pioneers member Paul Norton. Paul has since confirmed it himself that the voice before the jingle is, indeed, his.
