Each Friday afternoon, TFTP signs-off for the week with a classic station sign-off sequence for your enjoyment and to bid farewell until Monday...

And throughout 2018, we are featuring "Sign-Offs Through the Years", as we go year-by-year with each successive week.

This 1973 sign-off from Charlottesville, Virginia, station WVIR (the community's NBC affiliate) continues the early-1970s pattern of consisting of original audio with still images. The audio (after beginning with a jaunty instrumental passage) again features just the ownership/technical voiceover. The still images here (and in all of these such sign-offs) are not just filler--they consist of interesting information about the station being featured. Here we see the WVIR station logo from the era, pictures of the WVIA studio and technical facilities, some of the station's on-air personalities, and even a "fact sheet" about the station.
