Roy Nassau
circa 1968

A 1968 promotional piece says of Roy Nassau:

...Roy Nassau, for 8 years, news analyst and senior reporter for WFIL Radio. Covered top political races including Governor Scranton's 1964 bid for the Presidency. Acute news sense and thorough familiarity with the Main Line (he was the Regional News Manager for WFIL Radio for the Main Line).

From Sunday, July 31, 1966, at 11:55 pm, we have a complete radio newscast by Roy Nassau. Note that the opening to the cast contains the legal ID. Less than two months, WFIL would become Famous 56.
