Here’s audio from the closing to the Sunday, October 18th, 1970 episode of Face the Nation on CBS, which featured guests Republican Governor Ronald Reagan of California and Democratic candidate for governor Jesse Unruh.
The closing begins by reminding viewers who appeared in the episode and who interviewed them. Viewers are then told who will appear in next week’s episode. After a lengthy pause, there’s a promotional spot for football on CBS. Finally, viewers are told the episode they just watched was recorded the previous day in Los Angeles.
Here’s a transcript:
Today on Face the Nation, the major party candidates for governor of California, former Speaker of the California Assembly, Jesse Unruh, and Republican Governor Ronald Reagan were interviewed by CBS News correspondent Bill Stout, Donald Neff, Los Angeles bureau chief of Time Magazine, and CBS News correspondent George Herman.
Next week, the three major party candidates for the United States Senate from New York, incumbent Republican Senator Charles Goodell, Democratic Representative Richard Ottinger, and conservative candidate James Buckley will face the nation.
With no undefeated teams remaining, the NFL season is already one of the most exciting ever. Follow the action on CBS later this afternoon. Check your program listings for kickoff time in your area.
