WLKY-TV 1986: 9/29/86 Station Promos and Sign Off

I can't believe they stopped doing sign offs/ons. Nowdays it's paid programming commercials.

Is this National Anthem song, "America The Beautiful," or "Star Spangled Banner"? I've seen it many times and loved it!!

[AaronApolloCamp]

This is "America the Beautiful". WLKY uses "The Star-Spangled Banner" for sign-on and "America the Beautiful" for sign-off. "The Star-Spangled Banner is the official national anthem of the United States.

My Local Fox Affilate, KDSM Uses This Same SSB When Signing Off And On The Air On Monday Mornings.

The third "person on the street" in the Rich Little news spot - is that Howard Stern?

[indylre]

i don't think so. lol

[signoff12]

the fast fowarding through the color bars and image 32 slate is a master control error at the station

[indylre]

yep. looks like either they were manually trying to cue it up or automation went awry.

[NEPatriot]

Got any more sign-offs/ons in the collection?

[indylre]

i think i may have a few more. i will keep my eye out for them. stay tuned!
