Here's the ending of the ON-TV presentation of the film "Avalanche Express" on WSNS Channel 44, followed by the station sign-off (voiceover by Mal Wyman).
This aired on local Chicago TV early Thursday, May 21st 1981.
About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 3,800+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:

Anyone interested in nostalgia from Chicago should Google Craig’s Lost Chicago. It’s a treat.

In 1985, WSNS-TV became an affiliate of the Spanish International Network/Univision. Currently is a Telemundo affiliate since 1989.

There was something like this back in the NYC area. "Wometco Home Theatre" broadcast overnight and for a few hours in the afternoon on WWHT, a UHF station in West Orange, NJ. THe rest of the day was local programming.

Other cities had it in the early 80s as well. On KAUT in Oklahoma City (owned by Gene Autry), you could see live "bedlam" college wrestling between O.U.-O.S.U.

This was a rather short-lived service, only around for 8 years between 1977 and 1985.

@kargaroc386 2 года назад

and Chicago probably had it the longest of all of them (most places only lasted until 1983 or so)

Color bar tone without the color bar screen.

@charlessmith263 7 лет назад

The sign-off was very keenly simple. No national anthem, no background music except for that ONTV thing, and just a PSA short message: "This is WSNS Channel 44, we now end our broadcast day. Good night". Then you hear the fuzz as the transmitter is about to be cut, and the actual "carrier cut" happens at the 2:43 mark as the screen turns into a blackish-white snowball distortion. No color bars. Just a simple end of diffusion procedure.

DC and Baltimore had SuperTV on WCQR 50 and WNUV 54 in Baltimore. Cable killed that venture. 54 had financial news during the day and Channel 50 had a camera on the roof the studio showing the weather conditions.

Came here for the logo at 1:12. It looks beautiful. The one on the right looks like a snowflake.

@essvee86 9 лет назад

+rockvilleraven I thought that Channel 50 had the FNN, while 54 was something like channel 20 in DC, a second independent TV station, because I remember watching cartoons and whatnot on 54.

@ngf 3 года назад

I thought about it for a moment, If only On-TV Subscribers could see this (unless they were pirating) then why did they include a number specifically for becoming a subscriber?

@RealC2rblx Месяц назад

Apologies for the semi-necropost, but if I had to guess, then they had already gone back to unencrypted broadcasts at about 0:30, hence why they did a whole new animation for that. Just to remind the insomniac what they're missing out on, I guess.

I wonder how many people still have those On TV converter boxes?

@morganrussman 4 года назад

Probably not a lot of people anymore, I had seen vintage on tv pay tv & cable descramblers by mark Davis.

@@morganrussman - We had an ON TV converter box in the basement for (roughly) 28 years, but when the basement was cleaned out in 2015, someone tossed it in the trash, because they didn’t know what to do with it, and I doubt that anyone would be interested in collecting an old ON TV converter box.

@morganrussman Год назад

@MsSissiePooh I would think there's a small amount of people that are collectors of those.

Different VCRs recorded static differently. I guarantee you that this appeared like regular TV snow on the TVs of the time.

How come it went into fuzz mode at 2:41?

@EricEbac22 8 лет назад

+holly pietrzak Some stations cut the transmitter off after signing off for the night, but would come back with a test pattern for about ten minutes before signing back on the air later in the morning. Before doing so, some station graphics went into a fuzz mode.

CH 44: This is ON-TV. Subscription television Chicago. Me: Ok what's up next? CH 44: WSNS television Chicago now concludes it's broadcast day good night. Me: What???
