WETA TV-26 sign off 1997

[@richardburkard9839]

I've seen a lot of signoffs on KZbin (my habit is to watch one at bedtime most nights) - but this is the first I've seen where they show credits after the anthem.

[@mannbradmusic]

Very nice presentation and for the courtesy of you and others who view this and to refresh your memory, the words of our national anthem were written by Francis Scott Key in the aftermath of the British attack on Baltimore's Fort McHenry during the War of 1812 when he saw the American flag still waving over the fort that morning and below are Mr. Key's words if you want to read them while listening or sing along as you stand with your hand over your heart. The anthem begins at the 4:40 mark. O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, o'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

WUAB (Lorain-Cleveland, Ohio) also used this SSB film on Sunday Morning Sign-On/Monday Night Sign-Off in the late 1980s-early 1990s.

This WETA sign-off fron the PBS Washington, D.C. Station, had the original square "W" logo used from 1994 to 1997, when a new logo was introduced as WETA's current logo.

Judy Gruber is doing the voiceover for the signoff.

The fighter jet footage in the Star Spangled Banner film was courtesy of the 1986 USAF Thunderbirds Air Demonstration film and the rest of the footage came from "Windham Hill: Seasons" which featured the Windham Hill Videos, "Western Light," "Autumn Portrait," "Winter," and "Water's Path".

I’m pretty sure Disney wouldn’t allow the program at the beginning to exist.

[@jareddicarlo7816]

The announcer for the National Geographic commercial sounds familiar; I think it might be Vic Caroli.

[@jareddicarlo7816]

WSNS in Chicago used this same SSB in the late 80's

[@erickrosales2590]

Jared DiCarlo but only very limited

[@pussycat41]

I remember the SSB film WETA used in the 70's and 80's, with the flag in focus for most of the film. Please post that sign-off, whoever has it?

Isn't this station part of PBS?

[@looneytunes9000]

It has been since the network launched in December of 1970 succeeding the old NET network which I think this station was affiliated with before PBS.

[@armorybrunotjr.3204]

Yes. WETA was affiliated with the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and its predecessor National Educational Television (NET).
