Taft Television & Radio Company IDs

Background
Taft Broadcasting was active in some form or another from 1939, when the WKRC radio station was started in its home city of Cincinnati, Ohio, to 1996, when the company (by then having been renamed to Great American Broadcasting, then Citicasters) was acquired by Jacor Communications, which itself was acquired by ClearChannel in 1999.

FX/SFX: Decent '80s CGI for the lettering, but the rotating background's a bit hokey.

Music/Sounds: A synth noise, followed by a "whoosh" noise and a synth chime. A local voiceover often accompanied the music.

Availability: Extinct. It was only used in the mid-'80s as an ID on Taft-owned stations. Check old tapes.
