WJZ Channel 13 - "We Love IDs Too!" (On-Screen ID, 1983)

Views: 2780

Here's one more example not from Chicago TV but still interesting to show the differences in stations presentations' of The Day After (an ABC Theater telemovie about the effects of a full-scale nuclear attack on the United States).

WLS-TV did not have an on-screen station ID for the entirety of the movie. However, WJZ Channel 13 in Baltimore, Maryland did. I don't have the entire broadcast to see how many there were, but this is at least one example.

WPWR Channel 50 - "Off The Air Testing" (1990?)

Views: 3447

Here's something probably not very interesting unless you like color bars and static - found this at the end of a tape long after a movie had finished and the station was off the air for the night - looks like they were doing some sort of testing - picture goes from a strange color bars with a black square in the middle, to static, then a Station ID slide, then more static and then the color bars again. This went on for a long time but this is the most exciting 6 minutes of it. ;-)

Views: 4313

Here is a really brief station sign-off from WFLD Channel 32. We see the ending of a Ma & Pa Kettle movie (Ma & Pa Kettle at Home, based on the cast), Latenight 32 ending (with the circa 1984 Metromedia-era logo), the Fox 32 logo animation, and a quick cut to color bars with date and time. No national anthem or anything - must have been too late. zzzzzzz
