Audio: Unknown.

Availability: Was only used as a station ident.

2nd Logo (198?-1991)

Logo: On a sunset background, 5 glass panes are seen. One of them has the WVIA logo with a 3D 44 on top of it. "SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE/HAZELTON" is under it.

Legacy: The CGI in this logo has not aged very well, and the ident not having anything move is a wasted opportunity.
