[GDelva2003]

Hmm...Didn't know WPBT Channel 2 of Miami, Florida could be played in Buffalo, New York. Interesting...

We used to get WNED at night down here in Erie

I saw them performing both the American and Canadian national anthems while watching on TV a Canucks vs. Bruins hockey game.

I used to watch this episode as a teen upstairs on a secret tv in my bedroom, then when I was 17 I ran away from home, when this program came on I got so overwhelmed and homesick, this music is haunting

[capsizebrian]

Can anyone tell me the piece of music they used to introduce Star Hustler? it sounds to me like a Tomita version of a Debussy piece but I can't identify it

[Houdini774]

@capsizebrian "Arabesque" by Debussy.

Thank you Jack for introducing us to the universe. Rest in peace, I think you are among the stars you loved so much. We will not be without you as long as we remember to "keep looking up!"

RIP, JACK.... : (

[jmenjes]

Sad to say we lost Mr. Horkheimer a day ago. RIP Jack.

Oh, and it's now WNED Buffalo-Toronto!

[El135o]

Erghh, what was that freaky ending harpsi-chord on the Beeb '74 credits?

I have and old VHS with Jack talking about Jupiter, '86 or '87. Some of you remember that one, I'd bet.

[biohazardgraphics]

@El135o It's the theme to the Lord Peter Wimsey series. The credits were from the first episode of 'The Nine Tailors'.

Search YT for 'nine tailors part five' and you can see the full credits at the end.

Do You Have Anymore Buffalo TV Sign offs To Upload?

[firedupmaniac]

Wow! This video (and others that you've uploaded) bring back so many memories. Staying up late to watch the Star Hustler was a big deal growing up. Thank you for sharing this video, and the others as well!

[DinkCincinnati]

Unfortunately, the City of Buffalo signed off in the 1970's...

[MrChristian326]

I remember watching this and many more fine episodes on PBS 17, every Friday night just before PBS signed off. It was a nice way to say "Good Night" to all the viewrs and to remember to "keep looking up."

He expends as much energy in 10 minutes as most men do in a day.

Now Jimmy, show me on this doll where Mr. Horkheimer touched you.

[MarkGauvreau]

Beauiful.

The recording of the U.S. "SSB" is same as used for the montage of pictures of Founding Fathers as seen on sign-ons and -offs of WLS-TV in Chicago from at least the 1970's into the '80's, as well as sign-ons of WABC-TV in New York as of the 1980's.
