Sometimes when I was up early enough I would see the national anthem being played as they were signing in for the day, then some bald guy in a suit (probably the station manager or owner) would come on talking about their station, how it does good for the community, blah blah blah. Us kids would laugh because I swear to God, this guy's head was really weird shaped. It was like the top of his skull almost came to a sort of a point.

We had a few here in Boston; WLVI, WSBK, and I forget the call letters of the last one. I miss Saturday morning Bugs Bunny cartoons.
