Ship at 1:46 is my former ship, USS Charles F. Adams. Weird to be youtube surfing and see that. We used to go up to Charleston from our homeport of Mayport, FL. from time to time. Many moons ago. Thanks for the vid.
Correct, Danielle. Channel 25 first signed on as WCOS-TV on 1 May 1953, at least a month before WCSC-TV began telecasting. However, Channel 26 was off the air for five years (1956-1961), so it is not the longest continuously operating TV station in South Carolina (WCSC-TV holds that distinction).
These are great. Love em....but before I die I'd love to see at least ONE of the UNITED STATES COAST GUARD (not sure if any even exist)...we served in every war WW1 escorting troop ships. WW2 we operated the landing craft at Normandy and the Pacific Islands. Korea off the coast of Inchon. Vietnam, off the coast and on the inland waters. Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, taking and securing the ports. Not to mention Homeland Security (were active on 9/11 too organizing and directing boat lifts to get people out of Manhattan)
I completely forgot about when movies were movies until seeing this. Damn time passes quickly.
WCSC-TV is South Carolina's first TV station, first broadcasting on June 19, 1953.
Used to listen to it at Fort Jackson, whenever we had a chance. E-18-5

ea6a IT APPEARS AGAIN AT 3:10 OF THE VIDEO!
Thank you for your service
I totally forgot about this. thanks for a forgotten memory.
I miss the days when stations would actually sign off. The anthem and the static noise would wake me up off the couch, to go bed!
Gotta be a Navy anthem, if it's Charleston.

Thank you for posting this video.
I wish they had the old ones from the 70s
Hey, I live in Charleston SC!
Wish I could answer that, Eric. Some sign-ons does seem to move faster. Maybe that's why I like the sign-OFFS better!
Also I think sign-ons are rushed so they can start airing revenue generating commercials asap
Thanks fellas.😉
@SignOffsGuy--
Why does the sign-on seem a little more rushed than the sign-off?

Why did it go into fuzz mode at 2:33
To shut off the signal tower
The carrier signal was turned off, leaving the viewer with a blank channel 5, no station broadcasting!
WCSC-TV Sign Off - Sign On 2015
bruh😂😂😂😂
1:33 USS West Virginia she is a submarine
That's a Skipjack-class SSN. West Virginia is a SSBN. That video is from the first half of the 1960s, way before the West Virginia was commissioned.
Live 5 news the worst that Charleston has to give
what happened to Mike Hyatt,did he retired?
Yes, Mike Hiott is Retired
