Channel 17, "The Great Entertainer", was one of three indie UHF stations that operated in Philadelphia in the 1960s, 70s and 80s (the other two were WKBS-TV 48 and WTAF-TV 29). This sign-off is merely a station ID graphic with a voice-over announcement. The SSB is one of two versions of the "Homecoming" SSB produced by the United States Navy, which depicts a young Navy man returning home to his family. WPHL is now an affiliate of the MY TV Network.
