NPT’s ‘Throwback Thursday’ Sign-Off Videos Go Back to the 1980s

Back in the day, TV stations signed on every morning and signed off every night, often accompanied by scenes of their respective regions or an American flag waving n the breeze. In the 1980s, when we were known as WDCN, we invited local high school choirs to sing patriotic songs which we recorded and aired at the beginning and end of each day.

We recently received a phone call from one of those choir members asking if we still had that footage. That sent us scurrying into our archives. Can you believe we found one of these reels?

Follow us on Facebook and/or Twitter to see the videos on “Throwback” Thursdays. Maybe you’ll recognize old friends or even spot yourself among the choristers.

Hello, I remember two television shows that had some sort of jazz theme at the beginning, and end, of such shows that were from the 1980s era of WNPT/NPT, back when it was called WDCN. One of the television shows was called Nashville, and I remember that the second television show that had the song might have had Tennessee in its title. The television shows had aired on WLJT-TV around the 1980s, and up until the 1990s. Thank you for telling me the name of that song.
