Such a fond memory. Thank you for sharing this. My Saturday nights during my teens consisted of late night reruns of Doctor Who, Star Gazer, and the National Anthem.
After Saturday March 6th, 1993, then comes Sunday March 7th, 1993 where The Barney & Friends Family Marathon premieres to fund children's programming as part of the March 1993 Membership Pledge Drive for many PBS stations including my own station: KPBS San Diego!! After All, You Make it Happen with your Support!!
Thanks so much for posting. I love going through TH-cam looking for classic TV sign offs. I, too, have fond memories of Star Hustler and the sign off of my local PBS station (WSKG in Binghamton, New York). Seeing/hearing some of those MPT promos, I had a question which I thought maybe someone could answer. Who is the main MPT voiceover guy in the promos? Here in NY, we got to see several MPT productions such as Wall Street Week, Farm Day, and AM Weather, and all of the credits for those shows were voiced by this same man. Is he still doing voice work for MPT? Just curious. It would be cool to put a name with the voice.
Alec Webb was MPT's main voiceover. (And "Big" Wilson, a veteran NY DJ who retired in Miami, introduced Jack Horkheimer for years, including after his death, thanks to the magic of audiotape.)
"We now conclude our broadcast day on Channel 22 WMPT in Annapolis, Maryland, Channel 28 WCPB in Salisbury, Maryland, Channel 31 WWPB in Hagerstown, Maryland, Channel 36 WGPT in Oakland, Maryland, Channel 62 WFPT in Frederick, Maryland, and Channel 67 WMPB in Baltimore, Maryland. These stations operate under the authority of the Federal Communications Commission and our stations of Maryland Public Television, which is owned and operated by the Maryland Public Broadcasting Commission. We hope you've enjoyed today's programming and will join us again tomorrow. For now, good night."

The announcer doing the signoff for Maryland Public Television is Alec Webb, the station's longtime voice.
I.I.N.M., he started there in 1973; that was the earliest I heard his voice on "Wall $treet Week."
R.I.P. The Charlie Rose Show
He ain’t dead (well, except for his career).
MPT opening, Oakland CA (September 5, 2005)
MPT is served all of Maryland, except WGPT in Oakland, California.
Greetings, greetings and keep looking up!
That is statewide Maryland Public Television(or MPT) from 1993.
Do you have PBS National Feed from 1995/1996, 1997 and 1998-99?
