The song is not from a science fiction show from the 1950s. The title is Simple Gifts / Appalachian Spring, by Aaron Copland.

What a treasure, West Virginia. The people, the history, the beauty. Feels like home.

I remember catching this station from DC once.

[@dantheelevatorman1]

The name of the song playing was simple gifts.

[@1L6E6VHF]

I remembered the first part of the theme from the "CBS Reports" news specials in the 1970's (and possibly before, but I wouldn't know)

[@RingerLaw]

This a read by Bill Jaker, of WNPB.

[@kaiokendo]

which song is from the beggining??the state`s anthem??

[@SWhit62030]

Isn't this the theme from one of those CBS programs from the 50's or 60's like The 21st Century?

[@jjc6evil]

What is the name of the musical piece being played? I keep forgetting the title and the conductor who wrote it.

[@spuriouseffect]

Appalachian Spring by Aaron Copland.

Did they ever use any test patterns before?

[@mountaineertv1]

We would occasionally use test patterns overnight, when we kept the TX on for whatever reason.

[@hollypietrzak5214]

Yes, still broadcasting from the same location.
