Here's a sign-off from HBO (Home Box Office), from back in the days when they did sign off (the pioneering cable TV channel switched to a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week schedule on December 28th 1981, after going 24 hours on weekends that September).

The sign-off consisted of an animated film with people all heading off to bed for the night, from all directions, accompanied by instrumental music that almost screamed '70's, down to the omnipresent conga drums and a low tom drum whi...

WFLD Channel 32 - Lunchtime Fun (Ending Excerpt, 1983)

Views: 1476

Here is a brief excerpt from the ending for Lunchtime Fun on WFLD Channel 32. You can hear Dr. Don's voiceover and the funky music, which was used for a number of programs/promos on WFLD at the time. He's referencing a show on at 2:30, so based on TV Guides from the time period, this was Casper, which aired at that time in February 1983.

This aired on local Chicago TV Friday, February 11th 1983 @ about 1pm! (right before I Love Lucy began)
