In case you don't know, back in that time the sign-offs from KTSM-TV in El Paso, Texas were somewhat informal, similar to those traditional British startups and closedowns.
The preferred version of the National Anthem I sing to (mentally, know) when such is played, viz., the final verse: O thus be it e'er when freemen shall stand Between their belov'd homes and the war's desolation! Bless'd with Victory and Peace, may the Heav'n-rescued land Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it be just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!" And the Star-Spangled Banner, O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Does anyone know the title of the music playing behind the announcer for WANE-TV/15 Ft. Wayne, IN at 41:48? It sounds a lot like the sign-off music a station near where I grew up in Lafayette, LA used back then.
Okay, the WBAK one that overlays the information on the photos of the relevant equipment is pretty neat.
If you drive around the Lancaster area, there are still a good number of "drive carefully" signs that have the old WGAL logo.

I liked it.
31:26 -- A most unique sign -off!
Either the station staff was really into the background music hard. . .
or the announcer was reading from cue cards!

Hello, Nebraska! God damn! Definitely gonna need some oral megahertz for THAT.
agreed
I don't know about you, Damian,
but the WLIO segment (8:13) was actually a sign-ON.
Just wanted to point that out.
I’m actually glad to see a sign-on among all those sign-offs. Nice contrast.
