TThe end of a broadcast day at KMSP Channel 9 in 1977. This looks to be the daily news update that probably aired well after the late local news and after the late movie (or in this case a rerun of “It Takes a Thief”). No anchor, just an announcer with some of the stories that more than likely aired in the 10pm news that night. The State and National economy, artificial sweeteners, and massage parlors are the topics this night with familiar faces such as Jimmy Carter, Martin Sabo, and Earl Gray. At the end is a clip that aired immediately after on religion hosted by former Michelle Bachman Congressional challenger El Tinklenberg.
Comments:
Jeff Lonto : Al Tighe is the announcer here.

Bob Porrazzo: Wonder how after the Chapel of the Air KMSP officially signed off…any national anthem played?
Richard Sigurdson: For many years a film with “America the Beautiful” was aired following “Chapel of the Air” but not before a legal sign-off announcement was read.
