| Sign-off of Rockford, Illinois ABC network affiliate (since 1995) back when it was a long-time affiliate of NBC (1953-1995). The clip kicks off with the closing credits of NBC's Friday Night Videos. This is followed by a promo for the upcoming NBC fall sitcom Jennifer Slept Here, starring Ann Jillian (the show would last only one season). After a quick station identification comes a brief weather report, sponsorded by Fisher's Appliance & TV Centers. The WTVO sign-off is next, just a static station ID slide and voice-over. For the SSB finale, its one produced by the United States Navy, featuing a young Navy man returning home to his family and telling them of his adventures. |
