[UKSazzy67]

The NI globe is very smudgy and poorly defined.

[mubd1234]

Kaboom!

It's Northern Ireland, after all.

I agree with ajsus8 on this subject bring back the closedown with the national anthem

[1prouddemocrat]

A nice closedown. I'm glad they chose to play God Save the Queen!

[ajsus8]

bring back the national anthem a perfect end to the day

[Visonu]

The announcer was David Gamble. He is dead.

[dunkiep]

Thank you, that was very informative... if somewhat blunt.

[BelfastGav]

The announcer in this clip is NOT David Gamble.  It is, in fact, Michael Nunan who, along with the late David Gamble, were the mainstay announcers on BBC NI for most of the 1970s and 1980s.

Closedown from Friday 6th July 1984

(Early hours Saturday 7th July 1984)

[Kargaroc286]

i beleve they were still radiating 405 line stuff then

[UKSazzy67]

The 405 line signal was finally switched off in January 1985. There is a video on YT that captures this event.
