| Apologies in advance for the fuzziness in
the recording, for it was a long-distance recording made
at the Webmaster's home in Walkertown, North Carolina
(near Winston-Salem), 150-plus miles from Spartanburg.
But at least it was possible to get it in color! The clip
starts with the final few seconds of Eyewitness 7
News (since changed to News Channel 7), then to the
sign-off, which features a tour of the WSPA-TV studios
and facilities. Then comes the SSB film, the U.S. Air
Force "Split Screen" version displaying the
U.S. flag in the center. The video concludes with the
WSPA-TV "We're The Team" logo graphic. Spartanburg's Channel 7 commenced telecasting in April 1956 as the video sibling of WSPA Radio AM 950 (currently WOLI-AM 910) The station has been affiliated with the CBS Television Network from its beginning. Media General now owns WSPA-TV, a result of a 2000 merger with Spartan Communications (formerly the Spartan Radiocasting Company mentioned in the sign-off).
