Sign-off of Philly's current Fox affiliate, recorded during its final year as an independent (it would join Fox as one of its charter affiliates later in 1986). The clip commences with the great "Flag Evolution" SSB film, featuring vintage images of U.S. History, followed by live video of the Philly skyline at night with voice-over announcement and ends with a brief station ID sequence. The "TAF" in the call sign reflected Channel 29's owner at the time, Taft Broadcasting (which would sell the station to the TVX Broadcast Group in February 1987, who changed the call sign to WTXF). Fox Television Stations is the current licensee.
