43. WNAC-TV 7 Boston sign-off with Star-Spangeled Banner
The ending announcers for 2 National Home LIfe Assurance Company commercials were Ted Alexander and the late Jack Reynolds. Of course, the Inside Sports ending announcer was also Ted Alexander. And the WNAC-TV sign off announcer was the late Leif Jensen.
Where did Ted Alexander work, I ask?
KLAS-TV was the only CBS affiliate that was 24/7 back then (had been since 1970).
4:08 Mr. Hooper, is that you?
Yes, that is Will Lee.
It was Pete Seeger who originally wrote and sung "Turn! Turn! Turn!".
I was 5 years old living in Clearwater Florida at the time
I was 7 years old in Lawrence, MA at this time.
The two WIVB Buffalo sign-offs I have did not have a "Reflection", though they did have a news update (both read by John Beard) followed by brief technical info (KED 76), a short film about the flag, and the 🇺🇲 and 🇨🇦 anthems, and finally the color bars. One of them ended with an extra station ID before the carrier was cut. I posted both sign-offs in 2013.
...and Mel Allen ("This Week in Baseball") in the spot with The Champ
This was the same signoff film seen on WNBC Ch 4 New York
So WNAC had color bars at the time, huh? Any old-style circular test pattern, or would that have been in the mornings?
April 3, 2005 national anthem with WSBE opening in Providence
Now WHDH indepedent
As I remember, the station was with NBC for a bit. There was a big dust-up between NBC and WHDH ownership (Sunbeam) before the latter decided to go independent (there are some videos here about the sale and affiliation issues).
Skip to 28:36 for the sign-off
It included the U.S. Army/Mount Vernon SSB film that 2 stations from my hometown of Youngstown, Ohio used back in the day (WFMJ-TV 21 and WYTV 33)
@@russellpavlov1343 Speaking of that, There is no mentioning of National Association of Broadcasters, as well as the display of the "Seal of Good Practice" on the slides. Because WNAC is subscribing to the code until they abolished it in 1983, a year after they change the call sign and ownership.
@@russellpavlov1343 And WNBC in New York and WJLA in Washington DC.
Wtf with the ending??? Was it a Catholic or some other weird cult's channel?
It was Bawston ... A lot of Catholics up there back in 1980.
28:35
You don't have the Jeffersons Late Movie they advertise at 9:21 in this video, do they? I bet they showed the T.A.T. Communications Company Logo at the end of that one!
Why is that so important? Get a life!
@@wayfarer4578 If you had a life would you even be watching this video?
@@BigSCTVfan I watch for sheer nostalgia, not for some stupid logo. Talk about trivial.
