@ws9ca It's Glenn Miller's Moonlight Serenade.

What's the name of the music at 0:32 ??

Does anyone know of any other stations(besides this and the Field/Kaiser stations),

that used the Sierra Club SSB?

V/O for the signoff announcement was done by Channel 13's principal news anchor Don Alhart (who's still with the station). Callsign has changed to WHAM-TV as the station has changed hands a couple of times in the last 18 years--although it's still an ABC affiliate, as it has been since it signed on for the first time 48 years ago.

Wow! I've been looking for this version of "The Star Spangled Banner" forever. It's probably my favorite instrumental rendition. When I was a young kid in the '70s, I have fond memories seeing it played when WLVI-TV 56 in Boston went on the air early in the morning on Saturday or Sunday. How I'd love to find and download a clean, crisp copy of it. Such great shots of nature!

Ah, so that leaves KBHK as the only question mark about the Sierra Club "SSB" vis-a-vis Kaiser / Field days.

I don't about the other outlets, but WKBD was using the Sierra Club SSB when they were a Kaiser station

The shot of the seagulls flying over the water is just gorgeous. :)

I remember waking up in the middle of the night and seeing this a few times when I was (much) younger.
