KREM 2 sign-off 1987

Spokane's KREM 2 ends its broadcast day in 1987. Please note - the odd audio effect heard during a portion of this was in the source transmission.

[@JamesBarcus]

I believe the movie was being rewound while the sound was still active on the sound board.

[@jareddicarlo7816]

I think I figured out what the weird audio effect is. It’s the tape of the movie that was playing being rewound...live on the air.

[@jareddicarlo7816]

That weird audio effect is hilarious! I wonder what it sounds like slowed down...

[@JHollowayNetwork]

3:17-4:06 the KREM 2 Spokane ID slide dates back to 1980-81, because of the "Korina" font used in the "Looking Good Together" campaign.

[@Cinephillya]

Beautiful.

DOES ANYONE KNOW THAT ROMANTIC INSTRUMENTAL SONG ON THIS SIGN-OFF VIDEO??? (AT 2:40) PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS

[@robatsea2009]

@television472tv From what I remember it was static, no noise. Only saw a few seconds of it.

[@essvee86]

Sounds like the TV gremlins tried to take over the station! XD

[@gladfan1989]

Led by Stripe, no less, LOL

[@jimtalbott9535]

@@gladfan1989Only us “80s Gen X’ers are likely to get that reference.

[@robatsea2009]

I think it was "Heller in Pink Tights", with Sophia Loren and Anthony Quinn.

[@jimtalbott9535]

Anyone have the Sign-ONs in the morning, where they played the US and Canadian national Anthems?

[@sherryhannah498]

what was the movie with the Paramount logo at the beginning the classic one A Gulf + Western Company????

[@cosmowanda868]

I'm guessing it was Paint Your Wagon.

[@CelesteK]

Very well done. :)

[@robatsea2009]

@television472tv If you mean how it signs-off today I'm not sure as I do not receive the channel. Perhaps it is posted elsewhere on YT.

1987-1988

[@robatsea2009]

@television472tv From what I remember it was a cut signal, i.e. static.

[@gladfan1989]

OTA, signal was cut. Cable, signal was not cut, but a black screen was shown all night long.

[@Hogstuff]

I wouldn't say that advertising Planned Parenthood is in good taste, but that's just me.

[@robatsea2009]

@television472tv It wasn't on the source tape

[@dank1280]

I bet KREM 2 would never play the Old 100th hymn over the air nowadays.

[@gladfan1989]

Not since the NAB, technically, dumped the Television Code in 1983.

[@eascec8374]

The Sign Off I Believe is Recycled because it has the NCB Television Code.

[@kyndlehewett]

NAB

[@davewriter100]

Beautiful film. I see this was a religious hymn playing during the film, what was it called?

[@05steelersrule08]

It's called The Doxology or The Common Doxology.

[@gidzmobug2323]

What happened to the sound at about 1:40?

[@robatsea2009]

It's the audio of tape either being reversed or forwarded at high speed during playback - it was happening in the television station control room during the broadcast and accidentally included in the transmission.

[@gidzmobug2323]

robatsea2009 So it is nothing you can edit out.

[@robatsea2009]

No, it originated at the station during transmission in 1987 so it is there permanently. I would either have to mute the audio (and have people asking why there was no audio) or cut out every single portion of the clip that has affected audio, which defeats the purpose of putting it here in the first place.

[@juanitocarlitos77]

4:09 what song is it?

[@robatsea2009]

"Old 100th" hymn

[@Kanjilearner]

Landlords demanding sexual favors as a subsidy for rent is fucked up.

[@robatsea2009]

@television472tv Sorry, can't remember.

[@sherryhannah498]

Planned Parenthood is necessary
