WSLS-TV 10, Roanoke VA Sign-Off and Sign-On 1993

Combined sign-off and sign-on in one video file, both recorded on a Sunday morning in June 1993. Starts off with a Channel 10 News promo, then on to the short sign-off which features the Channel 10 logo descending behind a mountain at the very end. After several seconds of black comes a minute or so of musical color bars, then the sign-on which has the Channel 10 logo emerging from behind the mountains at the start. The sign-on is followed by a music video piece called "Spirit Of Virginia", which was a slogan WSLS-TV was using at the time.

That rendition of "A Child Is Born" is apparently by Stanley Jordan.

Bill Meck now works for WLEX-TV in Lexington, Kentucky.

Sounds like an adaptation of A Child is Born.

Don't know who it's by, though. I like it, too.

Neat sign off and sign on! Who did the song that they played when they signed on? I take it then that the sign on was on a Sunday Morning hense the church services starting right afterword? I have this particular video downloaded to my MP3 digital recorder.
