Odd thing, there is one other RUclips video from a Spokane station which has the closing of that same Paramount movie before leading into their own sign-off!
The sign-off stated that the night/early morning was “the 332nd day of our thirty-second year of telecasting”; by my calculation, the station signed on for the first time on December 21, 1950. Yet Wikipedia tells me that WOWT signed on August 29, 1949. Confusing, no?
Strange. When I did calculations (doing 365 x 32 + 332) where I got 12,012 days of broadcasting. Working with that, it would've started broadcasting on Saturday, January 8 1949. WOW-TV (WOWT's og name) first signed on August 29 1949. Somebody else got a weird calculation (I believe it was on a WOWT Signoff from 1978.) So I believe that the signoff was wonked up, or bigO! plabax had the wrong date, who knows.
If it was actually to match the first sign-on date for WOWT-6, the date this signoff would've happened was Monday, July 19 1982. Which dosen't match “the 332nd day of our thirty-second year of telecasting”. So my guess is that WOW-TV first went on the air on January 8, while full operations started on August 29.

But then that could be false, as this is just a quick calculation done in the means of only 10 minutes late at night.
Funny they have a Coast Guard video when they are nowhere near an ocean!
