Oh wow, someone who actually played the closer ! Thanks for the kind comments. The V/O station closer version here must be from the colour days. I remember watching the station closer in 1969 on a 22 inch Bush Simpson B & W valve set, I was 6 and stayed up late a few times, not a school night and the memory of this song, plus bed time kangaroo is so strong that I can't stop watching it because of all the memory triggers. It feels the time it came from but long gone from today.
I was actually scared of the Kangaroo Closer when I was a child - couldn't watch it! Years later at ATN I would see it each night when I began in TV and wondered what the fuss was all about, in fact I loved it! I think I have a copy of the closer in the garage on 2" somewhere - I should donate it as it's probably one of only a few copies taken directly from the film master...
Edits from the original: •When the kangaroo pulls the window shade the word “Good Night” was replaced by “Goodbye” followed by the tv man turning off the screen.
Very nice compilation Barry! The number of times I played that closer to air from 1977 until 24 hour transmission began (ACR cart number 900026), I couldn't count! It's interesting to see that ATN was the only station to put together an albeit short tribute by playing the old closer and saying 'Good Bye'! I wonder if Tommy Leonetti ever gave a thought to his image being one of the last on analogue Tele in Sydney - I would like to think so. Again, nice job and thanks for taking the time to let us reflect on it all...!
And the "Watch Us Now" I do believe is from "the other ABC", the American one.... It isn't strange that foreign networks buy SUCCESSFUL American marketing campaigns from years past (Brazil's SBT, their 2nd largest broadcast network, also used NBC's "Be There" / "Let's All Be There" campaigns as "Acha Aqui").
Actually, Matsushita changed the name of the whole company a while ago to Panasonic Corporation. Matsushita used the National brand name in Japan's domestic market and probably some other nearby Asian countries while they used the Panasonic brand name elsewhere. I do believe nowadays the use the Panasonic brand name worldwide. PS: Panasonic also made the first ATSC 1.0 -compatible equipment in US... (now we're taking "baby steps" to its' replacement, ATSC 3.0)
Fr like ur watching tv at 5pm in ur room then A FUCKING SCARY KANGAROO COMES AND PULLS A CURTAIN AND THEN STADIC AFTER THAT JUST UR SCARED THEN ITS 5 AM AND UR PARENTS REALIZED AND SAW U SCARED >:p
I remember having a analogue TV as an 80's kid in the 2000's I remember waking up to watch some nickelodeon it started with nick nick nick nick nick nick nicknick NICKELODEON and then it said no signal I told Dad he tried his best to fix it but all it had to show on all the channels was "NO SIGNAL BTQ brisbane 2"
I see what you mean. I first saw it on June 15th 2021 when checking out analog sign offs because I was interested in them for some reason, and the second I saw that face, I literally felt my skin jump and shake in terror. It almost felt like it was about to escape inside itself. However, after slowly exposing myself to it throughout the next 2 weeks, the fear disappeared fast.
Agreed. Even then it hurt to watch, as people were already trying to get ahold of them to play retro consoles on, albeit not as much as after 2020 of course.
I watch Looney Tunes on analog TV, long before digital TV and cable came in 2001 for one thing, girl powered TV cartoon The Powerpuff Girls and even Ed Edd n Eddy, an LOL animated comedy on Cartoon Network. And then, in summer 2009, epic transition to digital begins. For one notice, my family already have Comcast and digital TV, so... I'm fine yet disappointed that I won't watch the final signoff before forever snow or special morning edition on WPTV or WPEC channels 5 or 12. Oh, well.

Leonetti passed away in 1979.
O
@@jeanoboyle2439 oh. So he straight up passed away before they even stopped signing off at all years before the analogue shut off?
3:55 at least they made a closing unlike other channels.....
Is it me, or does the "Let's All Be There" campaign from Seven Network sound almost exactly like the campaign NBC ran in the mid-1980s?
It sure does!
It is the exact same. It looks like it was common for networks around the world to share their campaigns in the past.
And the "Watch Us Now" I do believe is from "the other ABC", the American one.... It isn't strange that foreign networks buy SUCCESSFUL American marketing campaigns from years past (Brazil's SBT, their 2nd largest broadcast network, also used NBC's "Be There" / "Let's All Be There" campaigns as "Acha Aqui").
@@syxepop No.. The "Just Watch Us Now" is from NBC.
@@sillygoose635 Nope. That's PBS.
Unfortunately, analogue TVs never got to broadcast Black Adam - starring Dwayne Johnson, released in cinemas October 21st.
2:21 Old CRT TV show look like among us TV
Funny 😐
Haha lol
National is no longer existing. The current renaissance of National is Panasonic. Both companies are Japan-based (Matsushita Electronics Corporation).
Actually, Matsushita changed the name of the whole company a while ago to Panasonic Corporation.
Matsushita used the National brand name in Japan's domestic market and probably some other nearby Asian countries while they used the Panasonic brand name elsewhere. I do believe nowadays the use the Panasonic brand name worldwide.

Didn’t even thought that ABC news intro was so modern and the music is so catchy like 10 years ago.
MY city of SYDNEY....
