WNED 17 sign-off 1990

Pretty much identical to the 1988 sign-off I already uploaded, this one has a different WNED voice over and has much better audio quality.

[@PGMEagle]

It was common for stations in the US that were in cities close to the Canadian border and served Canada on Cable to have both US and Canadaian national anthems at sign on and sign off.

[@jellyfishattack]

In Canada, Channel 17 has always been prefered over our Toronto-based Canadian public tv network TVO (channel 2) You can even put Channel 17 in with an antenna.

We all watched WNED WUTV WGRZ WIVB WKBW Buffalo. No one cares about CTV CBC nor City TV 😂

Ah, those Summer vacation nights when I was a kid in the late 90s when I would watch the national anthems on WNED and/or WNEQ. I don't remember why I did it, but I did. Back then, TV stations (well only some of them) didn't run on a 24-7 schedule. I guess seeing this was TV's way of telling me that it's time I go to bed. I'm assuming that back then, nothing was on in the middle of the night (or what some people referred to as 3rd shift work hours) except for infomercials or fuzz/snow/static. Our 1 TV only went up to channel 36 & the cable box only went up to 42 prior to 1997-ish when it went to 95.

Both the USA and Canada anthems are really two spangled banners for every Northern and Eastern people to stand up to. WNED Channel 17, always the best of programs in both these two world nations.

[@IanGorton]

They must be able to get this channel in Canada too. Hence both National Anthems

[@USA-CANADA1480]

Yes we did. Southern Ontario gets WNED WUTV Buffalo 29 WGRZ WIVB and Wimpy Kitty Baby Whiners (WKBW) according to Bruce Almighty

For those wondering, the tones heard before the carrier was cut, were 440 Hz and 1078 Hz.

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

The Canadian anthem was used for sign ons for other Buffalo stations around the era; well, this orchestration anyway... in some form.

[@flatcapman]

3:26 What a strange tone. What it supposed to say "CHEERS" then Snow stolen my rainbow thunder Thanks a million Dieter Laser for NADA

[@dantheelevatorman1]

does eney one have the WNEQ sign off?

[@zjc92]

The Canadian portion of the sign-off has much more awesome footage than the American one. As an American, I am offended.

[@Ian16545]

Sounds like WNED's becoming all the rage on KZbin lately...

[@ekaterinalekkas2356]

0:43 The Star-Spangled Banner.

[@osagiee.guobadia-secondytc4624]

also known as the United States National Anthem.

[@JasonDelarosa2000]

2:10 O Canada 🇨🇦

[@mauchersgirl]

At 1:15 Is That A Statue Of A Native American Indian At Niagra Falls?

[@AdamSamuelHarris]

Public Broadcasting Service - WNED (Channel 17 In Buffalo, New York, United States Of America & Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - Sign Off (19??)

[@dantheelevatorman1]

WNEQ became WNLO when LIN media bought the station. Today it is CW 23

[@Nicksolo85]

I sometimes wondered whatever happened to WNEQ. I know it's 9 years later, but thank you.

CHERRIES!!

[@hollypietrzak5214]

How come fuzz came up the very end of the video anyway?

[@Nicksolo85]

Channels that signed off did that back in those days. After the national anthems, you would see a barcode screen & hear a tone & less that 5 minutes later... Fuzz.
