Here's a station sign-off and national anthem sequence, preceded by the ending moments of the Monster Rally Movie presentation of the original "Night of the Living Dead" [1968] on WSNS Channel 44.
Includes:
Last approx. 15 seconds of the movie (what's a TV airing from a 16mm film complete without the picture cutting out about a second before the sound?)
Closing title sequence, with the host John Dickinson lumbering away without comment (theme: "Fear (Main and End Title)" by Harry Lubin, most famously used as theme from One Step Beyond)
PSA for U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare - Social Security Administration (ending voiceover by Peter Thomas)
Station sign-off (voiceover by Mal Wyman) starts at 1:06
Custom made "SSB" video featuring the Star-Spangled Banner along with such images as open fields (not the type that owned rival WFLD Channel 32), various shots of the Chicago skyline at night, portion of front windshield of Flxible "New Look" bus in service to CTA, and ending with Old Glory flying outside
Cutting of carrier, leaving nothing but Gaussian white noise static for the next few hours
This aired on local Chicago TV early Saturday, October 13, 1979 at about 1:00am.
About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: tapes@fuzzy.tv 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 preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to digital, please e-mail tapes@fuzzy.tv Thank you for your help!
