By request, here's another complete broadcast of a first-run episode of the short-lived drama Our Family Honor, this time "Lone Justice" (S01E11), as shown over WLS Channel 7.
Starring (in alphabetical order) Daphne Ashbrook (1996 Doctor Who movie), Georgann Johnson ("The Day After" blockbuster telefilm), Ron Karabatsos, Michael Madsen (best known for Tarantino flicks), Tom Mason, Kenneth McMillan, Barbara Stuart (the former Bunny on Gomer Pyle, USMC), Eli Wallach (The Good, The Bad and the Ugly), Sheree J. Wilson (before Dallas and Walker, Texas Ranger) and Michael Woods, and also starring Dick Anthony Williams and Ray Liotta (pre-"Goodfellas"), this show was about a law enforcement family at war with a crime family - and two young lovers, one from each side, caught in the middle (shades of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet"?).

![WREG Channel 3 [Memphis, TN] - Station Sign-On and Thought for the Day (5/12/1979)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Z48sRvuJ7O4/mqdefault.jpg "WREG Channel 3 [Memphis, TN] - Station Sign-On and Thought for the Day (5/12/1979)
Heres the sign-on sequence for WREG Channel 3 in Memphis, TN, then as now a CBS affiliate. The station was pretty much 24-hour from what Ive read though. (I wonder if they did a formal sign-off after the last scheduled program of the day, which would have preceded the 2 short films that were shown on the tape excerpt we found?)
In any case, here we see after The End title of an MGM short (A Really Important Person (1947)), the opening slide shows a long view of the Channel 3 Drive building where the studios were then located, with mention made that they were owned and operated by The New York Times Broadcasting Service, Inc. followed by a display of the U.S. flag (but no National Anthem), and a colorful 1965 variant of the National Association of Broadcasters Television Code, and concludes with a slide of the stations then-logo (whos the voiceover by??)
Thought for the Day, with Chaplain Raymond Cook (of what church? Navy Millington? Cant make it out) who starts off reading from John 14:14
Bonus: Opening minute of The Archie Show, with first few seconds of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch segment Tragic Magic (posted separately here: https://youtu.be/kaCxqmfuARg)
This aired on local Memphis TV on Saturday, May 12th 1979 between around 6:27am and 6:31am.
