WQEX Sign Offs (1990s)

WQEX, a sister/independent station of WQED, had an off-beat and wacky sense of humor. It is on full display in these three WQEX sign-offs from the 1990s.

grew up in PGH and totally remember this..WQEX was the GOAT at signoffs. So many Pittsburghers went to bed smiling and chuckling bc of this

[@AltoonaYourPiano]

I live in Altoona and remember watching these thanks to a rooftop antenna, signal was stronger at night so I could sometimes see these

[@Skyfire85]

OMG, thank you! I remember staying up late Saturday nights as a young boy to see the WQEX sign-offs.

[@regissuchma5764]

I haven't seen this in years

[@singinglawnchair]

Not from the area (just a goober looking for old TV stuff on youtube) but these are brilliant. Stuff like this makes me wish I pursued TV production. I love the thought of having a final little entertaining thing before turning in for the night.

Nice you got the ufo one. Had these on vhs. Along with red dwarf season 1-6. Wqex was the best. Britcom block, scifi sat nights

[@singinglawnchair]

Red Dwarf plus this at night sounds like a real treat. Fantastic.

[@BlackNGoldRules]

Thank you for uploading these. Brings back some fond memories.

[@radiosaido66]

these might just be the best sign-offs I've ever seen :))

[@bunnybismuth]

This is pure genius and I wish I had been there to see it at the time

I'm glad I'm 1 of the few that remembers this me and brother when we were kids would stay up just for this it was the funniest thing to us both lol

I've lived in Pittsburgh all my life and I never saw any of this. I didn't watch ch.16. My loss.
