Fox 21 KQDS Daily Sign Off and Sign On 2014

[@jsjourneys9454]

Thank you for posting this! I don't live in Duluth right now but I grew up there and watched this several times. It's nice to see it here, in a somewhat preserved state since they are no longer showing the national anthem part.

For those who may be wondering, the piece of music accompanying the weather map sequence was excerpted from J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #1.

QDS = quick and dirty signoff. :-)

[@richardburkard9839]

Did this station have an agreement with a public radio station for a simulcast of classical music? Or did it simply play its own CD's?

I was hoping that the sign off would eschew the infomercials. Still pretty good though.

Really neat, though I would've liked them to include technical details and such; I imagine there wouldn't be as many details as there would be with an analog signal, but would've been sorta cool nonetheless. Still really neat, simply for the aspect that they still signed off at the end of the day as late into the 21st century as they did. Speaking of which, do they still sign off to this day in 2018 (soon to be 2019)?

So the local and national weather maps have replaced the Test Pattern and the Monotone noise.

[@gidzmobug2323]

DanTheMan1985ful At least the weather is useful information.

[@DanTheMan1985ful]

@@gidzmobug2323 So what are you saying? Hearing all that technical information as far as Megahertz found in frequency and Watts of power found in Transmitting is useless?

[@gidzmobug2323]

@@DanTheMan1985ful The monotone noise is useless. The info you mention would be useful to someone.

mee too, i could hear it all day long... fuck it up the TV schedule... almost nothing is good to watch.

[@RedBlackGlass]

Where is the station/FCC script?

[@gidzmobug2323]

RedBlackGlass Not every station gives that information. I have seen other signoffs and signons that skip it.
