Summary

Description
English: Photo of Ernie Kovacs and Andy McKay from the television program Kovacs Unlimited. This was the local morning show Kovacs moved to after his Phildelphia WPTZ-TV Three to Get Ready was cancelled by the station to make way for the network Today show. The doll in the photo, "Gertrude", was a well-used prop on Kovacs' Philadelphia television program. His associate, Andy McKay, shown in the grass skirt and a mask made of masking tape, began working with him in Philadelphia and moved to New York to continue work with Kovacs. The rifle is a double sized training aid for the M1_Garand.

Author WCBS-TV, New York. The kinescope from which the photo was taken is a holding of the Paley Center for Media, known as the Museum of Broadcasting when it opened on East 53rd Street in New York in 1976. The center does not allow its holdings to leave its premises.
  • A copyright search was done for the year 1952 under motion pictures/films, artwork, and drama. Searches were done for Kovacs, WCBS, CBS and Columbia Broadcasting System. Nothing pertaining to this television program was located.
  • To be certain of the PD status, another search using the same criteria was done at copyright.gov for possible renewals, and nothing pertinent was located.
  • Before uploading the photo, there was a discussion at en.WP regarding its PD status, as I wanted to be sure I was interpreting things correctly.
  • Since there was never a copyright on record, I will license this as PD-pre 1978.
