Based on the dead giveaway of DST, this had to be the wee hours of April Fool's Day in 1990. Notice Linda Cohn (future ESPN anchor) and Nick Walker (future OCM at The Weather Channel) in this video at the anchor desk. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles overtook Pretty Woman at the box office on this weekend, and Alannah Myles topped the Billboard Hot 100. George H.W. Bush was President and Booth Gardner was Governor of Washington. And yes, KIRO did air the Final Four (Duke over Arkansas, UNLV over Georgia Tech) on this night, but it most likely didn't push the repeat of the 11pm news well past its usual time since this is the West Coast we're talking about...by the time the news aired live on KIRO, it was 2 a.m. in New York! More than likely (depending on what KIRO aired in syndication on the weekends then) the sun was about to rise if not rising in New York by the time this repeat ended...
@geekgirltv2011 In this instance you're right - they did not broadcast the national anthem as part of their sign-off but KIRO has included it during other years (including now when they sign-off on the weekends)
@swhyde1980px Back in 1990, the FM station was then known as KWMX-FM, when it had its adult contempo format. It only became KIRO-FM when it went all-news in 1992.
@robatsea2009 Yeah, for an eight minute video, I fully expected to see the National Anthem film - that would've taken, like, a minute and a half to two minutes.
I’ve got a funny story about watching color bars with the audio feed of a radio station. It was 2014 and i was admitted in to an Indianapolis area hospital. And wile i was in the hospital,, i was channel surfing through the TV lineup. I stumbled across a TV station that was off the air. They were showing color bars and airing the audio feed of KOMO-AM 1000 in Seattle. I thought that was weird.
Hey robatsea2009, Did KIRO-TV Channel 7 ever play Andy Williams' "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" Via 100.7 KIRO-FM On A Test Pattern Back When They Used To Sign Off Before? I'm Just Curious To Know!

What a great news theme, one of the very few news themes I like next to the Frank Gari collections there are.
The music at 2:09 is Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston
RIP Whitney Houston ❤

robatsea2009 song played is where all alone sung by Rita Coolidge written by Boz Scaggs..
One reason that I like this music, because I love easy listening.
This is when you were happy to have cable!
Linda Cohn before she moved to Bristol, CT and her new job at a place called ESPN.

The origin of 100.7 The Buzz. I miss that station.
Okay, whose idea was it to play that song over the ducklings? 😂
Dumb, wasn't it?
This was the late night of March 31 into the early morning of April 1, 1990, in the Pacific time zone.
This was from March 31, 1990.
Could you try to upload any of those weekend opens from 1987-91, please?
From 20 years ago,when Raible still had some hair left.
He still had that 'porn stache', too.
My local channel 7 (CBS) is WSPA TV.
I would rather hear music or a radio simulcast than that high pitched sound that is usually with color bars. What station is playing?
KSEA 101
robatsea2009 Thanks! 😁 Must be an easy-listending station.
...and the station may have 'reformatted' at that time, hence "The New KSEA 101" jingle.
@@robatsea2009 Which would eventually become 100.7 'The Buzz', then 'The Wolf'.
What time does Norah o donnell come at on here?
Beautiful song played during the color bars; what was the name of the song and who sang it?
EricEbac22 ua-cam.com/video/FlYS-2c0D10/v-deo.html
it's We're all alone by Rita Coolidge
@@ChuckieLove2008One of the most underrated female vocalists ever.
My local ABC (KGO) is channel 7.
Which Seal of Good Practice did KIRO use prior to 1990?
Is that Barbra Streissand at the end of the sign off?
No. Rita Coolidge. "We're All Alone" from 1976.
blazerbobcat and Box Scaggs released it in 1976 just a year before Rita Coolidge did.
What radio station is that the end anyway?
@@hollypietrzak5214 What is now KKWF (100.7 FM for Seattle); but back in the day "The New KSEA 101"
@@blazerbobcat The same singer who sang "All time High" from that one Bond film, Octopussy?

@05309193 Haven't any knowledge of this myself, but perhaps another viewer may know and can comment
What radio station is that?
KSEA 101
KSEA-FM is now KKWF-FM, A Country Format In Seattle.
Audio was from KSEA 101, now KKWF at 100.7 MHz!
It date recorded by Saturday, March 31st, 1990 late night and early morning of Sunday, April 1st, 1990 at 2am or 3am.
2020 kind of feels like 1990 a little?
I wonder when they stopped making people moving their clocks forward on April Fool's Day?

how did those baby ducks get down in the sewer anyway?
I've seen that same sort of story in so many U.S. cities in recent years that I have a conspiracy theory about that....

They probably did at Christmas time, when KSEA played all Christmas music.
Do they still air the cbs evening news on here anymore now?
Wow. Pete Gross.
Aw they are sooooooo cute!
But enough about Monica Hart.... :-)
They are our future too!
In the words of Apu Nehaspinapentalon: "YOU DUCKS ARE REALLY TRYING MY PATIENCE! But they're so cute."
NO SINE WAVE??? O--K I can live with that.
