Where did you find this? What kind of video did you find this sign-off ident?
At first, I thought he was copying the video posted by MSTS1, but then I saw the different outro sequence.
@@WolfKing-dv6xd This was the normal WGBX 44/WGBH 2 sign off until late 86-early 87 when Tom Dunn's voiceover took over.
That was nice of you to do this. Do you have the WGBH Channel 2 sign off from 1975 with William Pierce by any chance or no?
