WCMH-TV 4 broadcast day sign-off - mid-1980s
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2011
- End of broadcast day sign-off transmitted by central Ohio's WCMH-TV4 in the mid-1980s, before the age of 24/7 TV. Great shots of old school TV production, graphic arts and telecine equipment.
The Song is "Forever More" by Tom Browne
It resembles “Rise” by Herb Alpert.
That is the most funkest and awesome sign off and on I've seen!
I've been trying to find this song for 30 years! "Forever More" by Tom Browne was just added to my playlist. Thank you!
I know Tom Browne is best known for Funkin for Jamaica, but Forever More is great. It has a Herb Alpert-esque feel to it, like a faster version of Rise
👏👏🙏🙏
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! I've been looking for this signoff for years, it was such an integral part of my childhood, when I'd stay up way past my bedtime with my old black and white Zenith 19-inch set on (usually to watch Letterman). Also wanted to mention those great shots of the old downtown skyline. (Note the old Roy's Jewelers sign in the street-level shot, the corner of Broad and High Streets...that's where Channel 4's studios are now. Prophetic!)
Hands down the best sign off in Ohio and US television history
Bro, why this slap so HARD?!? I’m jammin’ over here. 🎷🎷🎷
Forever More by Tom Browne
@@jasonbertalotto2355 NICE! Thank you fam!
This is probably the coolest sign-off/sign-on I've ever seen!!!
From his 1980 album "Love Approach" (originally GRP/Arista GRP-5008, later re-catalogued GRP-5502).
That sign off might be the reason I ended up working in television. I definitely remember staying up just to watch it. That and the Jazz show on QFM Sunday Night.
Gooood times
0:54 2-inch Quadruplex videotape...what a relic!
Back when TV used 2 turn off at night nice throwback!
At the 0:37 mark, atop the lens casing for the RCA TK-46 camera is a QTV VPS-100 videoprompter apparatus that was first seen in the mid-1970's.
The days before computers powered everything in television. From cuing up programs, and commercials, to the slides and everything else these days.
I like the photographing of those slides!
Yes. Even though I didn’t grow up with TV sign-offs (I was born after they ceased), at least I have common sense.
Quite the sign off. Especially all of that old school tech of the 80's.
WCMH 4 castlehaven waterpark opening - July 30, 2007
no
Thank you so much for saving this and uploading it in such fantastic quality! This is amazing 🤩
I love this classic sign-off!!
Better than SSB. I wish other stations closed like that!
This shit is so good at 3:35 in the morning on a Saturday in a cold October night
just like today
@Ian16545 He did their V/O's throughout the '80s and even into the early '90s. WBNS had a longtime V/O guy as well.
I find my self in the werid part of RUclips Again, AND I'M GROOVING
this music couldn't be any smoother
Ahh yes.
"Forever More" by Tom Browne
Sounds very similar to Rise by Herb Alpert.
@@Pdasilva0324 What was once a staple on the "smooth jazz" format. Which is now only in Baltimore, MD on a low power FM that has transit news and information on the Light Rail and Subway when they don't play music. Their slogan is "The station that moves you!"
This is the best way to go to bed!
My gosh... this is *THE JAM* ^_^ love it
1984.
This is some baby making sign off music.
0:52 very geek digital watch.
WCMH didn’t have to go this hard though.
they do some really complicated shit at the end of the day to make sure shit gets broadcast tomorrow! I mean fuck an oscilloscope!
MAKES ME WANT TO DANCE!!!
2:00-2:16 - also known as Columbus' "media corridor".
Going by the NBC logo @ 2:38, this appears to be 1984-85
This is tv back in the day
One more note: there was another version that featured an earlier, white on black (film?) animated Channel 4 logo at 2:31-2:33. I'd love to see that one too.
Smooth.
Voice over man is very hot!
What is his name though?
Say, who's that announcer at the start of the clip? He's been an integral part of NBC4 for most of the 80's and early 90's, from what I gather...
Kinda has a Steely Dan vibe.
I also always wondered what song that was, and who the famous Channel 4 announcer was...yes, his voice was very familiar to me growing up. What was the guy's name, anyway?
Herb Alpert Rise vibes
Cartoon network launched Adult Swim in 2000 actually
who cares
1984 Or 85.
In 1998 Cartoon Network did the handover
WTF no way
Tom Browne Forvermore LP Love Approach
This is so fascinating to me. I always wondered how they went about broadcasting TV shows back in the 80s and early 90s... Is there another video that goes into more depth on the process? was the whole process of set it and forget it and let it roll through the day or did each and every TV show get broadcasted from an analog tape being played in a studio and supervised by one individual for each show to queue in and out for commercials and whatnot? I know things are so much different nowadays being everything is digital, just curious what all went into each and every program on different channels being broadcast from a sitcom, to a talk show, to a cartoon exc.
Network programming came by microwave feed to the affiliate prior to satellite. Commercials were done live or cued on VTR up until a machine like the TCR-100 would run an entire commercial block from cartridges. Lots of machines that no longer exist basically.
I worked at KDOC-TV, a small independent station in the Los Angeles suburb of Anaheim, in the 90's. Our programs and commercials were recorded onto analog videotape from satellite feeds or in-house master tape recordings. The tapes were then encoded and played through an automated playback system that was manually adjusted to keep programs on time. A lot of videocassettes had to be manually swapped out and in between numerous VCR's, especially during commercial breaks.
@@richartrod very interesting... Thanks for the info. 👍🏾
@@richartrod KDOC was recently sold. I believe that it is a religious broadcaster now.
I have a video of WCMH NBC4 sign-off and sign on on Monday, August 26, 1996 and I will posted sometime soon.
Hey, what ever happened to that sign off?
@@chrisparker7256, check out this video. ruclips.net/video/r0cYxWuPX9E/видео.html
@@russellpavlov1343 Yeah I love those commercials but that's the same sign off as the video on this page. I'd love to see a sign off from the late 80's and 90's
Tom Browne Song lits!!!
Purely funky! Is that a George Benson track in the background?
Tom Browne. The song is Forever More.
WCMH NBC
wow ganda tv sign oFF
@RolloSmokes On second listen, it could be a Herb Alpert track. If anyone knows the name of the song, please shares that info.
It's not, but sounds an awful lot like Rise, from the same era (1980ish).
The track is called "Forever More" By Tom Browne..
Okay why does the music sound like it belongs in a really bad porno movie?
I take it you’ve watched a lot of bad porn... 😂😂😂 jk
