Historical NotesThis is a microphone flag from Pittsburgh's WTAE on Channel 4. This microphone flag is part of a collection donated by John Poister, who spent his career working for local radio and television studios. Over the years, as stations changes their logos, the older mic flags were discarded, and that is when Poister started to collect them.
