This sign off was recorded on November 12, 1980, judging by the CBS ID slide with the announcer saying "Tomorrow on CBS", referring to a preceding promo for a broadcast of the 1976 Academy Award for Best Picture winner "Rocky" set to occur the following day. WTVJ has been an NBC affiliate since 1989 and on channel 6 since 1995.
***** It's called the Moog SSB, so named because it's played on a Moog synthesizer; it was actually introduced around 1971 or '72, right around the time another popular national anthem video was introduced, that being the Flag Evolution SSB video.
I've got several copies of this SSB clip and still don't know what the deal is with the screen at 2:52 saying "The Pilot Who Had Everything"- I'm guessing it's a still from a training film and they didn't think we'd notice the words there?
When they announced the sign-off, for some reason they didn't announce the information that included where the station is located at or what it's licensed by.
I almost misread WTVJ as WTAJ, which is a Pennsylvania broadcasting station, but I don't see much history about that. Would be nice if someone had their hands on some WTAJ stuff...
2:06 OOOOOOOO! WTVJ! HOW DARE YOU MAKE A POOR SIGN OFF? THAT IS SO IT! YOU ARE GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED FOR 123456789123456789 YEARS! GO TO BED NOW!
