WUPW 36 Sign-Off 1993 

Just found this. I wondered if it still existed. I created this piece when I interned at the station back in 1989. So, I guess I'm responsible.

Love how the gun safety PSA at 1:31 is followed by a clip of a man scratching his head with the barrel of his gun at 3:10. At least he knows where his handgun is!

"Thank you for watching Toledo 36 WUPW and spending your evening with us. Drop by anytime to enjoy your favorite movies and television programs. Toledo 36 transmits with two million watts of visual power and in stereo. A portion of our broadcast is mechanically reproduced. We originate programming from Four Seagate in Downtown Toledo. We hope you've enjoyed watching Toledo 36, and look forward to seeing you tomorrow."

The Iwo Jima SSB and the "Cinema 36 Late Night" were first used at the start of the station's life in 1985. They would retire these intros around '93 or '94 but the Iwo Jima SSB was used up to the point the station finally went 24/7 around 1999 or 2000.

Rather unique way to sign-off, using clips from old movies. Wished more stations did that back then.

wupw fox 36 was sweet back in the day around the years 1980 and 1990

Wow great picture quality for being 97 miles

LOL! That signoff lasted into 1996 I remember running it on beta tape.

Sometime after they adopted the "FOX36" moniker they went after a more serious sign-off that had to be all flashy.

On cable in Monroe, Michigan Charter used to carry fox36 and no longer carry the station in 2013. Monroe has to watch WJBK for Fox.

I miss Toledo...sometimes.

"Drop by anytime to enjoy your favorite movies and television programs." Then why are you signing off??

This sign-off isn't bad at all. The video of the WJZY-TV 46 (Charlotte NC) sign-off/on from the late 1980s can be found at my channel.

That late night movie bumper was made by Television by Design, yeah?

What Is That Song Played On The Outro Of The Cinema 36 Logo??

i miss upn 50 cable used to have it but out the blue it went off the air

That's OK. I figured I needed to be technical there since what we would say Friday and Saturday night we often even include those hours after midnight like it mattered.

The sign-off too varied over time. From 1985 to probably the early 90's it was just static ID tag with the usual information stated before the SSB film was shown.

does any one know the name of the song at start of this video ?

Very beautiful national anthem with this image congratulations

2:17 She Poses Like Kairi Sane!

yea but they only sign off saturday at 205 am not friday

3:23 “The Iwo Jima Star Spangled Banner” National Anthem Film by The United States Marine Corps Band of The United States Marine Corps as a public service.

Of course I'm sure you mean Saturday morning at 2:05 (and again Sunday morning around that time as well since I think that's how they do it).

i knew of saturday didnt know they did sunday morning too :S My bad.

i used to hate when it went off the air

Too bad they don't do Friday anymore.

This is the funniest sign-off ever. But not original. WJZY in Charlotte, NC signed-off with classic clips and cartoons set to Jimmy Durante singing "Good night."

I would say it was a step up from the one they had before that was just the 36 logo and the usual boring statement.

star spangled banner

WVLA-TV Sign Off 2015

hahahah a retro signoff of a retro movie clips thats so ironic

Should've played blind witness all alone and that song can run our national anthem over with monster trucks

3:03 A ostrich😂😂😂😂

WUPW 36 Fostoria Opening (April 8, 2001)

At least it isn't as bland and boring like most American sign-offs.
