Because it was customary to use the music package your station purchased, in all station identifications... news, news briefs, sign-on's, sign offs.. WKRC wasn't the only one to use "Part of Your Life" in its promotions..WTVC, Chattanooga... WBTV, Charlotte... WSM-TV (now WSMV), Nashville....WMAL-TV (now WJLA), Washington... even KAKE-TV, Wichita used "Part of Your Life." They all used it.
A wonderful TV station sign-off piece! This is the first one I've seen that used the logo of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. And it also features the 1965 version of the NAB's Seal of Good Practice.
First time I have EVER heard "This Is My Country" for a sign-off. Most stations would play the National Anthem or America The Beautiful. Others would play "My Country Tis of Thee" or "God Bless America." Got any more sign-offs from Cincy? Would like to know how the other stations did it.
I remember when WKRC Reporter Bill Craft climbed to the top of that tower!

And the sign-off V/O was Glenn "Skipper" Ryle.

why did they use the news theme (Part Of Your Life) in the sign-off?
