OEPBS Sign-Off 1981

Sign-off clip of the Oregon Educational and Public Broadcasting Service (OEPBS) circa 1981. It is preceded by a 1970s vintage PBS network ID and an OEPBS program promo.

I like these old-school TV logos. It's like going back in time!

[johnneedslove]

beautiful......timeless and warms my heart

Call PPTN THE KEYSTONE NETWORK; maybe that might work as Pennsylvania is the Keystone State...just a thought

What these top comments had both meant was that they were really saying "TAKE ME BACK TO THE EIGHTIES, PLEASE!!!"

[rexxdexx]

And KVDO in Salem would move

To Bend and would become the

OPB station there

"From the Oregon Network..." Love that classic ID + the trees forming a snowflake and star. But while the announcer says FROM THE OREGON NETWORK... it says OEPBS! OETA (Oklahoma Educational Television Authority) calls themselves THE OKLAHOMA NETWORK and KET (Kentucky Educational Television) is known as the Kentucky Network. I wish PPTN (Pennsylvania's public tv network group) could be called THE PENNSYLVANIA NETWORK!

I really like their logo- how it starts out as pine trees and then becomes snowflake-like. Cool.

The State of Oregon divested itself of the OEPBS stations in 1981, probably not long after this clip was recorded. Oregon Public Broadcasting, a nonprofit organization, was formed and took control of the licenses.

Oh, and the announcer mentions Front Avenue as the address. That street was renamed Naito Parkway several years ago.

It is now Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB). And I happen to be from Oregon! Too bad I wasn't born then.

To me, it sounds like the jingle of Playaround Video in Australia.
