WSTE-TV Puerto Rico Sign Off

[@jackmarter3131]

I have never seen a sign off with all the state flags! Pretty cool

[@riceymartin2203]

Interesting observation about this. The first 13 flags to appear are the 13 original colonies, albeit not in the order they joined the Union.

[@graysonclarkgraysontv5277]

WAPA TV uses it sometimes when there's power outage in the station or when a hurricane or tropical storm hits Puerto Rico

[@80srocknroller]

In WAPA TV Puerto Rico when an electric outage ocurred and that electrical problem isn't solved they put both the Puerto Rico and United States of America hymns to end their programming at 12:00 AM and after that they put the color bars with a message that said: "We decided to sign off due to a problem with the electrical power system. Stay tuned with us because when the electrical problem is solved we will return on the air as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank You.

[@carlosmpsenyorcapitacollon6977]

In Spain we had signoffs till 2005, because even when we switched to 24 hours the sign off marked the difference between the broadcast of one day and of the next day. We have 24-hours broadcast since the middle 90's. Aditionally, national tv's of the nationalities (Catalonia, Galicia, and the Basque Country) did sign off also. The Basque country did sign off with their national anthem "Gora ta gora Euskadi" and Galicia with their national anthem "Os pinos" Tv3, our public tv, did not use our national anthem (Els Segadors) and Andalucia used both their regional anthem and the Spanish one.

[@omegavalwin]

I was a little kid and i use to love this one cuz all the flags

[@joshdznyc]

The first song is Boriquen, The Puerto Rican National Anthem

[@syxepop]

It's the written in the 1950's by Braulio Dueño Colón version of LA BORINQUEÑA, the official "State" Anthem of Puerto Rico.
The original one, written by Lola Rodríguez de Tió in the 1890's had the same music, but had ideological revolutionary lyrics as it was against the Spanish rule on the Island back then.

[@cartmann94]

Exáctamente. Si no me equivoco comenzaron a transmitir 24/7 en el 2009 cuando la televisión en P.R. cambió a HD.

El 18 (WSJU) fue el primero en el 1984 (y en estéreo) y el 40 (WMTJ - PBS) entiendo que siempre ha transmitido 24 / 7 desde el 1985.
De hecho, TeleIsla solo ha estado transmitiendo 24 / 7 desde 2016.

[@sayhibobbi]

Judging by the date on which this was captured, the glitches on the satellite loop is probably the result of sun fade; that's when at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the sun lines up directly behind a geostationary satellite causing interference between the satellite and the Earth Station receiving its signal.

Replaced by the Gov. Roy Barnes "Six Flags Over Georgia" flag for a few years. Then changed again by Gov. Sonny Perdue. Some Georgians still haven't really forgiven Perdue for not fulfilling a promise to have a vote on restoring the flag in the signoff.

[@brilliantone2551]

Este video de cierre también fué utilizado por WAPA. Lo llegué a ver varias veces.

[@80srocknroller]

A veces cuando no había energía eléctrica o cuando venía un huracán o tormenta tropical ponían esos himnos de Puerto Rico y Estados Unidos de América y también las barras de colores y hasta había un cintillo que decía así: "Hemos tenido que salir del aire temporeramente debido a un problema con el sistema de energía eléctrica. Manténgase en sintonía con nosotros ya que de resolverse el problema de energía eléctrica regresaremos al aire lo más pronto posible. Perdonen los inconvenientes. Gracias."

If they did (being owned by Univisión) they've would've played Top 40 station KQ105 (WKAQ-FM 104.7) and it wouldn't fitted the mood...

[@RobertPaniagua]

​@@syxepop They should have played an AM news talk station, and that time of day, Coast to Coast AM would have been on the air

[@syxepop]

@@RobertPaniagua - WKAQ-580 AM (News Talk station owned by Univisión since '05 that will turn 100 in 12/03/22) does fit that very description. But the poster was talking about playing music.
At that late night hour 580 repeats their daytime programs, so that couldn't been appropriate either (just laughing at that weather image with a broadcast of far-leftist, now retired, Luis Francisco Ojeda's 3pm AST show, which could be shown on that very second as one of the "reruns").

They should have played an AM news talk station, and that time of day, Coast to Coast AM would have been on the air. And during their off-air downtime, this loop should have also included stock quotes, sports scores, general news and entertainment news

[@syxepop]

I don't believe at the time any TV station in Puerto Rico, much less Univisión, had the budget to put a "mini CeeFax" / teletext service for the overnight hours.
Univisión did had at the time an AM news station of their own to put the sound of, WKAQ 580 AM (they do put it on a certain Liberty Cable TV channel that only broadcast the program guide), but at the overnight hours (like in 2022) they rerun their talk shows from the day, which is kinda boring to listen unless you didn't before in the day...

[@RobertPaniagua]

While here in the US now and this day in age we would put a mini ceefax teletech (news/sports/weather/stocks and entertainment) service here during off hours with background music coming from like, 95.9 or 99.1 FM

[@RobertPaniagua]

(Teletext)

[@syxepop]

@@RobertPaniagua - we're talking about OVER 10 YEARS AGO when that video was taped.
And besides, nowadays the only ones ever interested to put a teletext system as a background are the Cable TV systems (and those have been declining in popularity lately) , as Infomercials seem to pay more (at least what it cost to sustain broadcast between midnight and the early morning).

[@RobertPaniagua]

@@syxepop Another thing about the local channels when they go off the air is switch to their respective networks
(CBS/ABC/NBC/FOX) newspath or programming during their overnight before resuming broadcast for the day

[@holtridge7337]

What is this for?

[@syxepop]

One of the relatively last sign offs done by any Puerto Rico TV station before going into a 24/7 format.
Taken from the 2000's with anthem images from the 1970's and '80s. After said sign off they would go to a "weather loop" until the morning sign up or about 5.5 hours.
