WNEW Sign-Off, April 7th, 1985 (Easter Message)

From early Easter Sunday morning, April 7th 1985, here's the full sign-off (after a late-night showing of "Ship of Fools") from WNEW, New York City's channel 5. It begins with the last bit of credits, followed by a drunk driving PSA from the National PTA with Bruce Weitz (Belker from "Hill Street Blues"). Then there's a brief promo for "Leadfoot," a presentation of Capital Cities Family Specials. The reading of news headlines by Tom Gregory is after that, with some interesting stories (look deeper into the awful case of Dennis Walters if you have a minute). A plug for The Milkman's Matinee with Marty Wilson on WNEW-am 1130 is next, then another promo, this one for "The King's Thief." Since it is Easter morning, in place of the sermonette there's a filmed meditation on the life of Christ. As far as I can tell, the recited words are the slightly-altered lyrics of "Here Was a Man" by Johnny Bond and Tex Ritter, famously recorded by Johnny Cash. This is followed by the Good Night slide (and a VO that mentions that the station signal operates at 76-82 megahertz), their version of the "Star-Spangled Banner" including lots of random local footage, and then static. Stay tuned for the super-rare sign-ON, which I will be uploading next!
