- Another once lost WETA relic recovered! When broadcast rights to Shining Time Station expired, WETA ran every single episode one last time through January 4th, 1998 in nightly two hour "marathon" blocks. This was taped on what I believe to be the fifth of those broadcasts.

Wow. WETA was what I watched growing up PBS kids wise. I don’t remember this, being two at the time, but this is a great find!
I love the old CPB logo (the big circle and left-justified text) and the old WETA logo. Thank you so much for finding this, Christian!
The first 20 seconds alone of this video brings back memories. I vaguely yet distinctly remember Shining Time Station.
Oh, I remember telling you about this! I actually stumbled upon the info about the Shining Time Station blocks looking for Noddy Shop info, I believe. This is pretty cool. And it's weird how the test signal beeping starts before the colored bars!
Uh, what the hell was WETA actually like for PTV Park when they officially launched it’s current logo in 1997?!
Wow! Sign Off In A Middle Of A PBS Kids Block!
Nope, this was at night time. :)
Yes
Don't remember off the top of my head. Mostly random episodes from the first season I think, and one episode of Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales.
Paint the Town Red
Wow! I Can't Believe PBS Kids Ran In The Nighttime Because How Shining Time Station Ran At Nighttimes Instead Of Daytimes.
Shining Time Station on PTV Park is after this Sign-off? Wow! Is there like a PTV Park Program Break on your tape (or whatever you like to call it?)
I find it strange that Shining Time Station was on so late at night.
You do?
@@ekaterinalekkas2356: Well, it wasn't very common to run the kids' programs so late, was it?
No.
This SSB clip was also used by WSNS in Chicago after they became a Spanish language station.
SSB - Star-Spangled Banner.
Wow, I was not aware of that.
This SSB clip was also used by WUAB in Lorain-Cleveland, Ohio (Sunday AM Sign-On/Monday PM Sign-Off) when they we're owned by Gaylord Broadcasting Company.
WETA doesn’t do this anymore, Does anyone have a sign on
a PBS kida program airing late at night?, no way!
I watch WETA every time I go near DC to stay for the American Girl doll of the year, (GOTY for ag fans) And I turn on pbs kids all the time lol
WETA is in shirlington Virginia

Why did shining time station go off the air in December 31 1997 and June 11 1998
Wednesday And Thursday
Broadcast rights expired - shows that are no longer in production can only be rerun for so long. Even if the national rights get expired some stations may continue to air said show.
Shining Time Station was basically our short lived version of the British show Thomas & Friends. Shining Time Station ran from 1989 to 1993. They did do some family specials in 1995, then that was it. The show was done.
