I thought they started using it in November 1984. It's not to say the ID was last _ever_ seen. Especially if it was originally recorded from satellites before the change. I saw the freaky 1984 ID on reruns of shows from my local PBS station at least a year following the change into late 1990.
I watched Channel 58 religiously when my family lived in Fort Mill (just across the state line in SC) in 1980-85. The Monday through Friday late night line up in 1984 was Doctor Who at 11:00 PM, and Monty Python's Flying Circus at 11:30. Bless Me Father must have been broadcast late on Saturday or Sunday nights? Unfortunately, I was too young back then to appreciate the wittier Britcoms. I was primarily a Whovian, but I also watched Monty Python for the occasionally scantily-clad women!

You know, ewjxn? You need to add the "W-U-N-G-TV (PBS) (now UNC-TV) Channel 58 Concord, NC Sign-Off From Autumn 1984" on J. Alan Wall's "TV-signoffs.com" computer website! "NC" stands for "North Carolina".

This would be one of the last times PBS used that bumper, since they would change it to an arguably less scary version in 1985.

Amazing for the University of North Carolina to be signing off in the 1980s. 😀

Two W-U-N-G-TV 58 Concord, North Carolina PBS affiliated member television station identifications at 0:20 & 1:08.
I get the impression the local ID is an automated message that originates from the transmitter site.
it's WUNG.

Why do they speak so fast far before they before they go into static anyway?
Well, you know, they've just spoke, I guess.
