KCSO channel 19 Modesto sign-off from 1985

KCSO channel 19 was located in Modesto and transmitted from there on Bear Mountain, reaching most of the Sacramento TV market. They were the only Spanish-language station at the time, affiliated with Spanish International Network (SIN, now known as Univision) but owned by a religious organization called Sainte Broadcasting, and during daytime hours would run English-language Christian shows- this sign-off and their sign-on clip were also in English. As you can tell from this clip, it was a rather low-budget operation.

In the 90s, channel 19 was bought by Univision, relocated to Sacramento, and call letters changed to KUVS.

@Matt324324 Don't know, but she also did other station announcements in perfect Spanish (at least mejor que yo puedo hablar).

@gladfan1989 THAT'S RIGHT! THAT SIGN-OFF IS COOL.

I never tuned in to see KCSO's sign-off growing up in Sactown, thinking it, too, was also broadcast in Spanish. I must say, if I had known this back then, I would have tried to audio record it. Thanx for posting.

Cool sign-off from 1985 and includes the Spanish International Network (SIN) logo. That's great and i'm starting 2 like that "Midnight Tango" song from Herb Alpert. It's excelent.

In case anyone is wondering, the background music before the SSB is "The Midnight Tango" by Herb Alpert.
