WNET (Newark, NJ) Sign off/UA Columbia Cablevision Bulletin Board (Early Sat. 2/14/1987)

I love it when I find a whole tape filled with a single, uninterrupted broadcast on it. Case in point, someone intended to record a pair of movies airing back to back (A Great Performances episode/TV Movie and the 1977 Italian film, "A Special Day", if you're curious), but instead of using a timer, they just hit the record button and went to bed. As such, here is the post-show break, sign-off and the first several minutes of a cable-company created bulletin board loop.
This aired over Newark, New Jersey PBS-affiliate WNET (by way of Columbia Cablevision and recorded somewhere in northern New Jersey) in the early-morning hours of February 14, 1987.
NOTE #1: The radio station playing in the background of the billboard segment is Paterson, NJ-based (then) "beautiful music" station, WPAT 93.1 FM.
NOTE #2: There was about a five minute gap between WNET going off-air and the start of the loop, I have cut this transition (which is nothing more than a plain, black screen) to ten seconds.
NOTE #3: I have nearly an hour of the bulletin board on the tape. However, I've only included the first song (which I couldn't identify), a commercial break and the news/weather update. I have done this because: a. no new slides occur, and, b. the playlist starts to lean more on major artists that I don't think the YT bots would take too kindly to (among them, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee and Johnny Mathis).
