  • North America's tallest tower!

  • signing off, back when television had dignity.

  • KTHI is now KVLY.

  • I wonder why they always play the national anthem after the sign offs, they do the same thing in Canada too.

  • I grew up in Grand Forks.

    WDAY and WDAZ (Channels 6 and 8, respectively) were NBC affiliates and KTHI was an ABC affiliate. For some reason, they swapped network affiliations. I never knew or understood the reasoning behind it. If anyone knows, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

  • If you have a copy, think you can try to post it?

  • they replaced them with local scenes of Mankato, MN, including a time-lapse of a sunset, firworks, and a kid holding a american flag (also seen on a studio 12 commerical)

  • The version of the "SSB" here was from the U.S. Army Band, recorded around the 1960's and also used by other stations, including New York's WNBC and WPIX (each with a different video).

  • The version of the "SSB" played here (obviously from a record, based on the scratches whose duration suggests 33 1/3 RPM) was from the U.S. Army Band, c. 1960's, and was also used on sign-ons and -offs for other stations, including New York's WPIX and WNBC (albeit each with different video).

  • Of course you speak of "High Flight."
