That’s a beautiful sign off, but that logo at the end with the 8 jumping around is kinda creepy ngl. And it’s even more creepy here since right after that, it will cut to snow. Also, for the late 60s and 70s, that sign off is very well worked. That looks like an 80s sign off, can’t believe it aired in the 70s and even the 60s, it’s so high quality too.

This music theme actually started in the mid-1970s, and it was the closing theme of the first 5 pm newscast Channel 8 ever had. It was not only used at sign-off, but also at the end of News 8 at 5 with Bob Gooding. Bonus points if anybody can locate the opening theme to that same newscast, which was a little different but of the same vein.

This was the digital cutover. Unless you were a nightlight station (one that would continuously broadcast information about the DTV switchover and where to get a converter box), you had to shut down the analog transmitter after the signoff.

The day of the digital transition, I managed to catch the tail-end of this sign-off on the station's newscast as me and my family have cable. This is quite possibly the best ever analog TV sendoff. Thanks for uploading! Someone should do a simultaneous side-by-side video of WFAA's analog and digital signals (not just the final minute side-by-side one shown on the newscast) as the transition happened.
