I retired from WXYZ-TV after 40 years as an engineer. I worked an occasional sign-off shift. The voice you hear this particular night is Don Karle.
As a vet, thanks for your service. As a kid growing up in Oakland county in the 70s I loved watching the sign-off with the Air Force jets. I wanted to join the Air Force and dreamed of being stationed at Selfridge. I ended up doing 25 years in the Marines and was never posted anywhere near Michigan. Thanks just the same!
Do you know what the last old-style "round" test pattern would have been used by WXYZ, and what it looked like, before the station switched to electronic color bars?
Does anyone remember a beautiful blonde girl singing to a bunch of kids while playing an acoustic guitar america the beautiful. Is there any footage of that sign off

You mean this one? m.ua-cam.com/video/K6vjzMEh0YM/v-deo.html&pp=ygUNa2xydSBzaWduIG9mZg%3D%3D
Thank you. I was wondering who that was. Such a very familiar voice.
Would’ve been nice if ABC still owns WXYZ-TV today.
ABC was required to sell off WXYZ as a condition of its merger with Capital Cities Communications in the mid 1980's.
The sign-off announcer was Don Carley.
Sounds like this was done live. WXYZ's then sister stations like WABC-TV and KABC-TV were also doing live sign-offs.
yeah, it was probably standard for ABC's O&O's to do these live.
This is WXYZ-TV!

WXYZ-TV Channel 7 Detroit is now owned by the E.W. Scripps Company, and is a sister station to KNXV ABC 15 Phoenix, and this is the 1983 WXYZ-TV sign-off following the 1981 station ID which used ABC's "Now is the Time, ABC is the Place" rather than its current slogan "That Special Feeling on ABC". Thanks for the upload ewjxn.
I don’t think WXYZ used the local version of ABC That Special Feeling, Toledo, Ohio then-ABC WDHO (now WNWO as NBC) TV 24 used That Special Feeling slogan.

Back when the National Anthem meant something in this country.
Damm! Just before scripps takes control of wxyz.
Yep, this was probably why ABC wasn't quick about updating things if they knew they were going to leave Detroit the following year.
@@ChristopherSobieniak no they stay with abc with changing owners.
@@matthewcampbell7985 I meant ABC as the owners.
Maybe meant abc sold it’s ownership still remained affiliated
@@ewjxn Yes I did. I meant what they used to do before they sold the station to Scripps Howard.
If WXYZ was on cable in eastern Canada in Nova Scotia like WJBK did back in 1983, they might’ve seen the sign-off news radio style and anthem. WJBK had sign-offs at night in 1983. When did WXYZ join the cable in Nova Scotia, Canada?
WJBK aired a 24-hour schedule in 1983.
Can you upload the WJBK TV 2 sign off at night from the late 70s/early 80s, please, ewjxn?
I’ll look for it.
Cool.
0:00-0:05 So they were still using the "Now is the Time" ID even after the slogan ended?
shouldn't it have been "That Special Feeling on WXYZ?"
@@ScoopNemeth Yep or "That Special Feeling on Channel 7" (also for WABC-TV New York/WLS-TV Chicago/KABC-TV Los Angeles/KGO-TV San Francisco and even WKBW-TV Buffalo etc...)
@@ScoopNemeth They are using the background for that special feeling in their station ID.
I believe "That Special Feeling" was ABC's slogan at that time. It supposedly referred to the good vibes audiences felt from ABC's top-rated shows at that time (Happy Days, Aaron Spelling shows, Wide World of Sports, Monday Night Football etc.), including it being the network that carried the Olympics.
