Guess you stayed up late too.

Yes, when the station went off the air for the night they showed a film of a flag waving in the breeze and Kate sang God Bless America. Of course, back then there were only about 3 stations and the one that stayed on the latest (usually 1 AM on the week-ends) did the shut down ritual.

And then it was only the Indian test signal until they started up in the morning.
