One minute after midnight on April 16th, 2009 KLRU ceased analog transmission. As a tribute to the station's history this original sign-off message was aired.
Before stations were broadcasting around the clock they were required to "sign off" before ending the broadcast day. These were often patriotic images put to the music of the Star Spangled Banner. This KLRN/KLRU sign-off is no exception and may be a trip down memory lane for many KLRU fans. This analog sign-off was broadcast from the original 2 tape, eschewing fancy digital technology one last time.

And it's the 4th stanza of the national anthem...VERY RARE! This may be just be as classy as WSRE in terms of PBS stations.

I know in the late 1970's, when virtually all TV stations had a sign-off, that WXYZ-TV Detroit (7, then ABC O&O) used this version (which ended with the credit of it's producer, Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., if I recall correctly). So it's -at least- as told as 1978. Thanks for posting this - I hadn't seen it in at least 25 years!

The date on our tape is 1981 but the video is older than that.

You Use That For Your Analog Switch Over?

Channel 78 They did which in my opinion watching this is a very classy idea to sign off the analog signal ten years ago(2009 counting on the year of the DTV switch). The DTV switch will celebrate 11 years in June of this year. Btw Austin PBS, the “4th verse” SSB Film was produced in 1970 or 1971 by the Presbyterian Church at the time folk music was getting popular.

Classiest. Signoff. Ever. No bombs, fighter jets, or such. Just....America.

Actually, I believe this SSB clip dates back to about 1970 or 1971, during the era when folk music was very prevalent in our culture. Even though I was only eight at the time, I remember seeing this when it occasionally aired on WBAL-TV 11 in Baltimore.

I really like this. I hope it stays available here or somewhere.

In the 1970’ TV stations were using slides and handmade idents. There were no computers back then.

@JohnnyDart76 South Central Texas, but you were close.

A very classy farewell to the analog era. Per other posts, did this run without a voice-over announcer on the final station ID at the end, or was it done before the video? I am assuming back in the day when this aired at sign-off in the 1970's it did have an announcer. It was a classy sendoff, just like WSRE in Pensacola and Georgia Public Broadcasting's WGTV.

Richard Rodriguez Don't forget KAET in Phoenix, where they played their sign-off message twice.

I remember this folk version from the 70's in Austin Tx, but also remember the version with earth in background as viewed from the moon, that was my favorite one. Anybody know their folk singers ? who sang this version?
