KOLN-TV 10 and KGIN-TV 11, Grand Island NE Sign-Off from 2004

This sign-off has the somewhat unusual practice of playing the Star Spangled Banner sequence BEFORE the stations' sign-off announcement. The SSB clip here was obviously produced after September 11, 2001, for there's video of the New York City skyline at night with the two blue searchlights aimed straight up, signifying where the World Trade Center stood. From the SSB its on to the sign-off announcement, which starts with shots of the 10-11 studio facilities, then to various shots of Nebraskans at work and play.
SignOffsGuy gives his thanks to Dan O'Hara of Syracuse NY for contributing this clip.

Although weird thinking the anthem was being played BEFORE the sign-off announcement, it really had a purpose.

[@gidzmobug2323]

What was the purpose?

Nice, I was visiting relatives there just two years earlier and caught the sign-off then, it was similar but I remember one shot of a dog running right up towards the camera which isn't in this version.
