The days before 24-hour TV, before 24-hour anything just about. I think it was around 1982 or 83 when the first all-night programming cycles began to appear on the television moonscape.
Very nice presentation and a great rendition of our national anthem! Also, for the benefit, convenience and information of you and others who view this, the words thereof were written by Francis Scott Key in the aftermath of the British attack on Baltimore's Fort McHenry during the War of 1812 when he saw the American flag still waving over the fort that morning and below are Mr. Key's words if you want to look them over while listening or sing along as you stand with your hand over your heart. The anthem begins at the 1:36 mark. O say, can you see, By the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, o'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Grandson of a New Orleans native here. I wonder if the NAB charged royalties to use the actual SOGP that channel 6 thought was either too expensive or too chintzy for their own liking…🤔 That, or they just wanted something that would contrast well with the character of their viewing area since that homebrewed SOGP contrasts with the old school Popeyes Chicken logo. Whatever the case, the courts eventually ruled the matter moot when the TV Code got struck down as a burden on the Constitution. P.S. Since Jerry Lewis is on this video before the signoff, I’m curious to know who the Love Network affiliate was in New Orleans if you know what I mean.
Two slides with a voiceover of the stations technical info and the Star Spangled Banner. Short and sweet. Should it be some production masterpiece that no one but the FCC really cared about?
I wish this was longer. It's great. I wouldn't want to go to bed after watching this!
We have a friend in need and we will not rest until he's safe in Andy's room, now let's move out
And that concludes our broadcast day.

Don’t know about New Orleans but lots of stations did all night movies in the 70s.

@@michaelmyers1999 really… well in the name of all that that’s good in the USA, I won’t delete your comment. But perhaps you WANT me to delete it?
This used to scare me to death as a kid 😂
Chicken 😂😂 just teasing
We desperately need a new Television Code- main rules being no logo bugs and no “paid programming”!
Good Luck with that...😅
Cool looking SOGP.

I wonder how this sign off would look like if New France was still here...
It would probably be an RFO sign-off.
That is WDSU 6 in New Orleans from 1980 and RIP, Jerry Lewis.
That must be one of the driest sign offs I've ever seen.
essvee86 I think it's great, but it's too short!
Definitely the worst sign off I’ve ever seen
Nice animated SOGP right there lol
These days, you have to watch local TV newscasts (in some cities) to win money.
will this the week of the MDA telethon?
Of all the SOGPs I've seen, this has to be one of, if not THE creepiest of them all.
Jesse Coffey Because....???
Well, look at the way they designed it!

If you think this is creepy look up "emergency broadcast system tests from the 70's and 80's. those things use to scare the crap out of me as a kid..
I'd wondered who would be interested in the technical aspects of a TV channel when it signs off? 🤔
The FCC.
They Need To Bring This Back
no they don't.
Shepard Chapel !
Grab IT Arkansa !
Before I delete this comment, please explain.
@@galaxies352Is he talking about Shepherd’s Chapel, the religious show with the old guy that’s been on late at night?
WDSU is no longer signing off anymore 🎉🎉🎉🎉
