WITI TV Fox 6 Milwaukee Sign Off

This is a clip of Fox 6 signing off for the night when they had to conduct transmitter maintenance in 2004. Fox 6 only signed off in 2002 and 2004 for transimitter maintenance, however it never signs off for the night everyday. It signed off in the early to mid 90's every night. There are some funny surprises when fox 6 signed off for the night. One of the things it shows is an old news banner story on the upper right hand side of the screen from earlier in the year that said "Beer Vs. Books."

Is it legal to run commercials DURING a sign-off period?

@joshyboy1983 Correction: He's considered Canadian. But the reason he was shown on the SSB was because he invented the Telephone in the United States.

I remember this test, The white to black transitions was to test an AGC problem with our studio to transmitter link.

When WITI was TV6 (before Fox) they used this sign off every Sunday night/ early Monday morning at about 12:30 AM and then went to test pattern until about 5 AM when they played this again at sign on.
