My Version for 1990s: This is television station WNEW TV Channel 5 New York. Owned and operated by Fox Television Stations division of 20th Century Fox transmitting from the World Trade Center. Executive offices and studios located in Manhattan at 205 East 67th Street. WNEW operates on a 76 to 82 megahertz assigned frequency by the FCC's authorization. All programs cannot rebroadcast, retransmit, or copy without Fox Television Station's written permission. All programs and program portions already prerecorded presented by this station. Now speaking on behalf of Fox Television Station division of 20th Century Fox, this is [Ed Ladd or Tom Gregory] wishing everyone from Channel 5 and home a pleasant good night and good morning.
My Version for 2023/24: This is television station WNYW TV Channel 5 New York. Owned and operated by Fox Television Stations division of Fox Television transmitting from the Empire State Building and Freedom Tower. Executive offices and studios located in Manhattan at 205 East 67th Street. WNYW operates on a 76 to 82 megahertz assigned frequency by the FCC's authorization. All programs cannot rebroadcast, retransmit, or copy without Fox Television Station's written permission. All programs and program portions already prerecorded presented by this station. Now speaking on behalf of Fox Television Station division of Fox Television wishing everyone from Channel 5 and home a pleasant good night and good morning.
Will be honest, I remember seeing the "updated" version in 1983 which was shorter than what is shown here. Thinking it dates to 1976-77 when "The Choice" was used as 5's on-air campaign and that "5" logo appeared. It was used even slightly after Murdoch took over and made the station WNYW Fox 5. Next year is channel 5's 80th birthday.
I have seen the updated signoff video many times and to me it's a lot better as it shows scenes from the Tri State area, including a sign for the Palisades interstate Parkway and a town I have been through many times growing up in New Jersey, Englewood Cliffs.
I see the sign-off script was uniform in the disclaimer language order (also on this site is a 1982 sign-off with Ed Ladd handling same; nonetheless, I'm a Tom Gregory partisan).
@@kwanfan24 - In the Metromedia days, technical staff insisted the station calls stood for "Where Nothing Ever Works." Pray tell, after the Fox takeover and in its initial months, did the initials change to "Where Nothing Yet Works"?

The sign-off announcer was Tom Gregory.
Curious to see a signoff "slide" with no call letters for the station - simply a generic "good night." Can't recall any other signoff doing that.
KLCS did it circa 1978.
There was a sign off where the call letters were shown first and a cartoony bear slide with Good Night was shown at the very end.
I see the sign-off script was uniform in the disclaimer language order (also on this site is a 1982 sign-off with Ed Ladd handling same; nonetheless, I'm a Tom Gregory partisan).
1:05 good night from channel 5.
imagine this is television station kiah-tv owned & operated by metromedia?
Tom reads a somewhat different spiel.
That is Fox 5 in New York from 1982.
Fox and "Fox 5" didn't exist in 1982. It was WNEW-TV.
Fox 5 didn't exist until 1987
