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.

TFTP's "Sign-Offs Through the Years" has so far had to feature sign-offs that had original audio but still images as visuals--because only the audio has survived.

This week we have our first actual, full sign-off, from 1975 and Shreveport, Louisiana, station KTBS. TFTP actually featured this sign-off once before, and it is somewhat unique in that it uses not the national anthem but instead a rendition of "Dixie". This song of the south is heard over various images of the Lousiana bayou at sunset (or is it sunrise?), and these images continue to the end of the sign-off sequence as the ownership/technical voiceover is heard.
