From after an airing of the James Cagney film "One Two Three". Aired November 29, 1989.
Woah! It's been a while, hasn't it?
So, remember the video I uploaded pertaining to some FOX commercials from November 24, 1989 almost two years ago? This one: • FOX commercials from N... ?
Yeah, it turns out that I only transferred that part of the tape and didn't look through any more of it afterwards. After that recording of Rocky II, there's a late-night airing of the James Cagney movie "One Two Three" from a few nights later. When I looked this airing up via newspapers.com, I noticed that WFLD actually signed off on weekdays after the late movie. Since this movie aired on a Tuesday/Wednesday, I was hoping for a sign-off after the movie. And holy shit was I ever given a gift that day! Thank goodness I kept looking through this tape!
This is also a more truncated version of this sign-off, as the color bars continue for another 10 minutes before the recording stops. I don't think I wanted to give you another 10 minutes of color bars on this one, so I'm giving y'all this.
Hope y'all enjoy!

HEAVY STUFF INCOMING:
I'll be completely clean with this. My hobby has mostly turned into transferring complete tapes from my collection and forgetting about uploading commercial break videos onto here. I've been meaning to get something started pertaining to that, but it just hasn't happened until now. My mental state has just been getting noticeably bad on top of that, so it doesn't really add up to consistency running a channel like this. My apologies for making a promise like this and not following up on things.
Hopefully I can push something through within the next few weeks or so, I've been meaning to get something going anyway.

3:20 in the morning? Sheesh. That’s super late. If you’re on that late at night, you might as well air for all 24 hours.

I guess they figured, “Hey, why bother changing it if nobody’s going to be up to see it”
