Here's proof that noted "prophet" Harold Camping was wrong about the end of the world being Friday, 21 October 2011. Judgment Day took place on Thursday, 16 February 1984, according to Doug Llewelyn, announcer of The People's Court in the program promo that kicks off this video clip. This is followed by Meditation, a two-minute sermonette delivered by Richard D. Ahlberg of the First Evangelical Free Church. The WMAQ-TV sign-off follows, including the terms of use statement, rendered by announcer Ed Grennan. Next is a sing-along SSB film of unknown date or origin, possibly from the 1960s. When the carrier is cut off immediately after the SSB film ends, another station is faintly seen and heard through the distortion on the screen. WMAQ-TV 5 is NBC Television's Chicago O&O station.
