WOWT 6 Omaha - Calendar of Events and Sign-Off (5-11-1982)

Ending the broadcast day with The CBS Late Movie close, three PSAs, Recroom Shoppe, Credit Advisors, Doughboy swimming pools (classic!), then the sign-off with Dale Munson voicing over the usual. A video clip from the U.S. Coast Guard is shown, along with the 1979 yellow Seal of Good Practice slide. Toward the end is three minutes of color bars displayed with station call letters and clock before cutting the juice at 2am.

131st day of our 33rd year of telecasting? Sounds like it was done live...

WOWT was being owned by San Francisco Chronicle (KRON-TV’s then-owner) at that time, when they still had its CBS affiliation. On June 29th, 1986, WOWT switched back to NBC.

Nice!

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

I can tell they had a live announcer then if he had to do this every day the way he ends his statement with that particular date!

[@guyfellows2293]

seems like a lot of effort to go through for something very minor - wonder why?

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

@@guyfellows2293 Well in those days, they used to had a "sign-off news" that was spoken by an off-camera announcer on many stations. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHLSan-giKirbck kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2mxeKKIhZmqndk kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6Kxh5mdZbJ3hdE kzbin.info/www/bejne/r52ufGyiqc2Uitk kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHjbm2WIa6iNqdE

Good to know that the Coast Guard gets some representation. 🛥️
